Surely, at some point, we can meet up, and I can hold them for you until then. So I will dig them out, consider them yours!

Lost Cities has been claimed, but I think the others are yours!

I will be pulling them out & pricing & packing them over the weekend/Monday, so if you can email me (this lj name at yahoo) with your address before then, that would be great.

Oh Books!! Oh, I hope I haven't asked for too many...

I would be really interested in all of the Piers Anthony, all of the Bruce Coville as well as these Orson Scott Card Books:

First Meetings: In the Enderverse
Speaker for the Dead (enderverse)
Xenocide (Ender, Book 3)

Hound of the Far Side - Gary Larson
Bride of the Far Side - Gary Larson

That may be it, I'll be back in a moment if I see anything else.

I think you missed out on First Meetings by about two minutes, but you can have the rest! (And you've still got fewer than Mel, so no worries, as long as you're okay with paying the shipping.)

Oh well, I'm sure I'll find it again. :)

If it's okay to add a few more (if they're not already taken, of course):

Kids' Paper Airplane Book - Ken Blackburn
A Little Princess - Frances Hodgson Burnett
A Tale of Two Cities
Oliver Twist - Dickens
Atlas Shrugged
The Fountainhead - Ayn Rand
Romeo & Juliet
Antony & Cleopatra - Shakespeare

And I'm totally okay with shipping. :) Do you take paypal for it? Either way, just let me know, what I need to do (email?)... <3

Thank you again!!

You're very cool for doing this, by the way.

You missed out on Camp Foxtrot, but the rest are yours! Yay!

Do you want to e-mail me your address, or wait until I see you in person again?

(Did you not see this on your flist? Or did you just see it there first? :D )

Hm. Hang on to them for now - let's see whether this New Year's party happens.

(I saw it, but LibraryThing was down at the time! It didn't come back up until after stellar_dust had posted the link.)
