Inspired both by the “What do you have too much of” thread and Cranky’s book exchange, I’ve decided to get rid of some of my excess books. (I spent a few days last fall sorting out stuff I’d either never read or never read again – but the boxes I put them in have been sitting in the upstairs hall ever since.)
These are all good books (either hardbacks or good paperbacks) that I’ve read, but that I don’t need to hold onto a copy of. If you’d like one of them, send me an email at twickster47@yahoo.com. Put SDMB in the message line; give me your name and address (plus your username, just so I’ll know you when I see you around the boards); and tell me which book (or two) you want. This is gonna happen on a first-come, first-served basis, so if you get there first, I’ll send you a free book. (I will let you know if it’s yea or nay.) If you want to respond by sending back a buck or two after you get the book, that would be fine, but I’m not demanding it. For reasons of my convenience, this offer is available to US and Canadian dopers only.
PLUS! For a short time only – I’ll include a beautiful handmade bookmark! (I have a laminating machine and love making bookmarks.)
