eBay My World: jaybird-77( 162)

My name is Thomas Baker and I'm an artist who is also an archaeologist, or maybe the other way around! See my webpages devoted to my activities in archaeology and painting: <http://www.nmia.com/~jaybird/AANewsletter/> and <thomasbakerpaintings.com>

Books on ancient civilizations, archeology, art history, the art of ancient civilizations (prehistoric cave and rock art, ancient Egypt, Greece, China, and the Middle East. I also collect books on aviation history and the role of light aircraft wartime (my father flew Piper Cubs and Stinsons for the U.S. Army during World War Two).

I have no favorite TV shows. To me, all TV shows are distractions and wastes of time. I think anyone who keeps a television set in his house is throwing away a large part of his life. My TV went to the dump years ago, and I have never regretted it for a minute. I learned the benefits of life without TV when I was growing up in Turkey, where there were no TV sets. The books I read back then and the hobbies and interests I developed because there was no tube to distract me have left me far better off than if I had spent all that time sitting idle while absorbing sales pitches and other tripe off the TV, like I see kids doing today. If you have children, as I do, throw out the TV and watch their talents blossom!

I accept all ordinary forms of payment but prefer the speed and convenience of PayPal.

I ship my prints in sturdy cardboard tubes and send them by Priority Mail, which generally takes two to three days to reach any location within the continental United States. Anyone outside the U.S. should contact me before bidding or buying to see what shipping service is available and what it will cost.

If you aren't satisfied with what you buy from me, I will gladly take it back and refund your money. You will be responsible for return shipping costs, however.

You may contact me through eBay, by the usual methods, and if you wish I will e-mail you back my telephone number so that you can speak to me directly.
