Oooo! Not to sound pushy, but can I have this? It’s where I got my original handle, Elenia.
I’ll e-mail you.
The Elenium is SOLD to the lady in the front row!
Thanks, Suba_Ben! Got your e-mail!
Um…
Scuba_Ben.
Apologies.

This link is for a little article/narrative about sending books. Media Mail is the way to go, but you usually have to tell/ask them, write Media on it - You may just want to wrap the book in heavy paper…One thing I did not know comes from the article above:
“But don’t place a note, letter or any other material in the package or you won’t be eligible for the media rate. Yes, that means you’re on the honor system. Honor it.”
But the USPS does let you tack on a message…
"1.3Enclosures in Books
Enclosures in books mailed at Media Mail rates are subject to these additional standards:
a. Either one envelope or one addressed postcard may be bound into the pages of a book. If also serving as an order form, the envelope or card may be in addition to the order form permitted by"
Me moms worked at the Post as her hobby.
I’m digging around for more–who wants:
Peter Brown & Stephen Gaines: The Love You Make: An Insider’s Story of the Beatles - paperback first edition, spine is extremely sun-faded.
John Brunner: The Jagged Orbit - excellent sci-fi novel, hardback w/DJ, probably book club edition
Humphrey Carpenter: Tolkien: The Authorized Biography - paperback, 4th printing
Derek Taylor: It Was Twenty Years Ago Today “An Anniversary Celebration of 1967” - trade paperback
Gene Wolfe: Lake of the Long Sun (“The second volume of The Book of the Long Sun”) - paperback
GorillaGirl , you can have my 84 Charing Cross Road, no problem. E-mail me at kelebrian@hotmail.com to give me your postal address.
Does anyone have available Alexandra Stoddard’s Don’t Let’s Go to the Dogs Tonight ? I’m very keen to read it but my local library and used bookstore don’t have it.
Mrs. Furthur
If anyone else out there wants The Tamuli, I have all three books in slightly ragged paperback.
Thanks, further! Email sent.
Can I have these? The first and third sound interesting and, uh, well… I just can’t pass up the second for free even though I’d never buy it myself.
Just to confirm on the board:
Hamlet is already spoken for. Several people have asked for it, actually. FWIW, I didn’t buy it, either; someone else gave it to me.
Aesiron gets The Odessa File and Retief At Large.
Oh, what the hell: I have a copy of A Return to Cooking that I wouldn’t mind getting rid of. It’s in good shape, just a little too food-porn oriented for me; plus it’s big and unwieldy.
I’ve been looking for a copy of this one. If it’s still unspoken for, I’d like it.
Little Nemo gets the Brown Beatles bio. (Thanks, I got your e-mail.)
On the plus side, I found two more books in the Gene Wolfe series:
Gene Wolfe: Nightside the Long Sun (“The first volume of The Book of the Long Sun”) - paperback
Gene Wolfe: Caldé of the Long Sun (“The third volume of The Book of the Long Sun”) - paperback
…so I have the first three books of the series available.
Naz, The Funnies is yours. Email me with your address.
