As parents starting from zero, we spent months figuring out which Van Dusen, which DiCamillo, whether Magic Tree House is worth it, what comes after Nate the Great. That work is done.

Happy to send the full title-by-title inventory to anyone seriously interested.
CONDITION:
Cared for properly. No ripped or missing pages, no scribbles, no folded corners, no chewed edges. Hardcovers and picture books are essentially like new. The chapter-book paperbacks have honest reading creases on the spines — they were read, which is the point — but every one is sound.
BOOKSHELF INCLUDED:
White front-facing kids’ bookcase, two display shelves plus a deep bottom drawer. Sturdy, clean, no wobble. Front-facing covers did it for our boys — kids pick up books they can see.
16 BOARD GAMES — complete, excellent condition:
Catan Junior · Ticket to Ride First Journey · Castle Panic · Outfoxed! · Imhotep: The Duel · LEGO Monkey Palace · Zombie Kidz Evolution · Zombie Teenz Evolution · Race to the Treasure! · No Stress Chess · Risk Junior · The Game of Life · 100 Classic Games set · Game of States · Candy Land · Chutes & Ladders. Curated the same way — real strategy games alongside the classics, weighted toward cooperative play.
Covers roughly ages 3 to 12. A full runway that grows with a kid rather than being outgrown in a year or two.
Well over $3,000 to assemble new — and months of research you don’t have to do.
We’d love it to go to one family rather than see it scattered. Cash / Venmo / Zelle. Ground-floor pickup in Williamsburg, exact address shared once we’ve arranged a time.
