Give to the moderately impoverished

Mar 01, 2008 13:37

I'm having a bit of a clear-out so I have some books and things up for grabs. I could really do with the money and I've been trying to get rid of some of these for a while now, so it'd be jolly good if you could help me out. Everything is in excellent condition or otherwise specified and all prices include postage to the UK ( Read more... )

hello from a lurker amberite2112 March 1 2008, 17:11:49 UTC

first i would like to say Hi. my name is corwin. the icon is a pic of me from early in my transition, so you know sort of what i look like. like i said, i lurk. we do have a few thing in common, so its not totally random. - we both went to SCSU, although several years apart, we're both FTM, and i know your boyfriend, just casually. we used to go to the same support group, before i moved out of Boston.

so- i'm very interested in the VW book. i used to live in a VW bus shortly after i got out of college, and i fixed at least 6 bugs during those years.
also, what sort of photography does the book cover? if its primarily for colour, i don't need it. i do medium and large format B&W almost exclusively.

my email is 2112Silversmith @ gmail . com, if you'd like to contact me privately.
thanks!

*waves* Hey Corwin! Hope all's well with you.

Hi Corwin! I was only at SCSU for 6 months, it was part of an exchange programme. I enjoyed my time there though.

Which VW book is it you're interested in, The Beetle or The Volkswagen Beetle?

The photography book does seem to be primarily for colour, although it looks like it's all about getting a good picture, not about printing them. The blurb says: A comprehensive guide to all aspects of photography that should appeal to both the experienced photographer and the enthusiastic beginner. The book has been carefully planned to act either as a complete course in photography, taking the photographer right through from first steps to the most advanced techniques. There are 19 chapters covering topics such as exposure, flash techniques, portrait photography, wildlife, specialist techniques, studio work and many more. Tjhe final sections explain the most important technical aspects, such as how films work and the significance of f-numbers. Also included is an exhaustive file of data on filters and other topics.

hi again! somehow i didn't notice there were 2 VW books- can i buy them both? the photo book is not as interesting as 2 VW books!
if you let me know how much shipping will be, i will cover it.

The VW books are rather large and heavy - they measure 30cmx40cm and weigh just over 1kg together without any packing - so postage to the US is going to be expensive. It looks like sending them economy will cost $55 and take 28 days approx for delivery while sending them standard will cost $65 and take 5 days approx for delivery. That's on top of the cost of the books which is $22.

I understand that's quite a bit of money, so let me know what you want to do.
