In which there is a lot of Books...

Once upon a time, there lived a girl who LOVED books. Nothing made her happier than traveling to the bookstore. She would spend hours reveling in the smell of new print. Rarely did she leave without at least one new purchase.

However, the girl began to grow up, as girl's often do. Now she lived in a small dwelling with Hubby. Now Hubby and the young girl were very much in love, however they were still very different. Where the girl's greatest pleasure in life was to sit amoung her books, Hubby did not like to read so much. He preferred to spend his time either playing with his enchanted unit he liked to call a Computer, or another enchanted Box he called the X-Box. While the young girl was ok with a cluttered home, her precious books towering precariously to the ceiling, Hubby very much loved a neat and orderly exsistence.

There were many times when Hubby and the Girl fought over the clutter, which was only further agravated by the girl bringing in yet more books into the house.

'When we have a bigger home," Hubby promised, 'I will be more than happy to give you a room of your very own to have all the books, but right now there is just too much. I'm sorry,"

The girl was at a lost. She loved her books, but she could only ask so much from Hubby. It wasn't fair to make him live so uncomfortably. So she made a comprise. Hubby would enchant for her a magic book, one that could hold many books, while being the size of a small book itself. Also she agreed to get rid of some of her books, agreeing to keep all of her books limited to the magic book and two shelves. In return Hubby would agree to get rid of some of his stuff, so that they may live in a less cluttered home.

The girl was sadded by ridding her self of some of her precious books, and did not want to just bring them to the local charaity. She wanted to first offer them to anyone she knew would might want them. She knew then that they might go to a good home. If not, she felt that giving them to a charity would be ok as well.

So here is where I errr...I mean the girl offers some books Free to whoever wants them!


Ok so the deal is this. I am more than happy to give anyone who comments any of the books they want (first come first serve though). The CATCH however is I need you guys to pay for shipping. I can give away books, but can't afford paying for shipping. I should mostly beable to get the books in a flatrate box, as long as you are not getting a crap ton at once lol

So here is how it works: Comment telling me what books you want. I will pack them up, and find out how much it would be to ship them and let you know. Then you give me the money, either through Paypal (preferred) or you can mail a money order. Once I get the money, I will use it to buy the shipping supplies and send the books to you! I promise to go for the cheapest shipping method, unless you want anything fancy.

Without Further ado! Here is the list of books:

Textbooks:

I also have The Hackeet Selections of Aristole(paperback). ISBN: 0-915145-67-7

And Last but not least: Rivers in Time: The Search for Clues to Earth's Mass Extinctions by Peter D. Ward

Now, don't think that just because I am getting rid of these, means I didn't like them. There are many reasons I picked these books to get rid of. Butu I did really liek all of them (except maybe the textbooks....)
