One book a day keeps the doctor away.

Oct 17, 2010 23:52

Okay, folks. Here's the deal: after consideration, I've decided to give away whatever books people want from that giant lot I pulled from my shelf. The full list is here. The books are in varying condition, some more scruffy than others, others rather old, but none with pages falling off. I take good care of my dears. Pay attention to what says on ( Read more... )

The organisation of that list is so hot. Lists are sexy.

Book Collector, by Collectorz. I'm an organization freak when it comes to databases.

I would loooove the Sword of Truth series, been meaning to get them for ages!

The full collection? Sure, send me your address in a PM; I'll check mail costs.

Unless... Don't you study in Lisboa? If you do, we can arrange for me to bring them to you.

I used to, but not anymore. I doubt the costs will be that high, it'll make it cheaper than buying them from amazon plus postage I'm sure, so it's all good. I'll PM you in a sec.

It's certainly cheaper. And as it turns out, a box that can hold 11 books is just as big as a box that can hold 20. So, question: any other 9-10 books you would like to have from this set?

You are absolutely and utterly amazing Teresa, that is all.

Icon! ♥

As I said to Diana, "A book's purpose is to be read, otherwise it's just a dead tree." I would be much happier knowing mine are in good hands, with people who plan on reading them, than packed away, gaining dust and mold and being forgotten.

Ooh, I've been meaning to give the Sevenwaters Trilogy a go. Any good?

I think it's good, especially the good one, since it's a retelling of a Grimm story. But I should warn you, Jess - mailing things to you would probably be terribly expensive, €25+. For that price, you can probably get the books new in any fancy bookstore.

...thaaaat is a good point. >_< But, I did a quick search on Abe Books and it's looking promising! $1 AUD plus shipping, woot!
