Linda had to say...

Shelf has a variety: mystery, thriller, science fiction, fantasy, Star Trek, historical romance, specialty romance, non-fiction, spiritual, general novels, contemporary, (very few numbered romance or childrens/teen).  I often add books to my Shelf every few days.

See Notebook for hurt books--1 free with each book you order for a credit.

If you are not satisfied with the condition of a book I send, please let me know, and I will work with you to make it right for you. We are a non-smoking household. We have a cat, and used to live with a dog, though neither of them are avid readers. I try to send a PM when there is anything noteworthy about the condition of a book (such as its being ex-library, or having well-toasted page edges).

States I need to mail to:    MT  RI  & PR

States I need to receive from:   All covered, till we go international!

Reader from crib-age. Avid buyer of books. even more so than reader. Enjoy all types of books, mostly fiction. Varying/eccentric non-fiction interests: Medieval English history, passive solar or straw-bale houses, Will Rogers, satire, folklore, mushrooms, etc. Professionally, an IT Generalist and Process junkie.

FYI: A popular UBS in our area puts tape across the bottom of the spine for most books they sell, I suppose to reinforce it.

FYI#2: Since ~95% of my books are in storage, the ones I've posted are recent purchases. I may have posted them before I read them. So I may ask how you feel about my reading them before I mail. If you would rather have the book(s) more quickly, please let me know that. (This applies mostly to Box-O-Books, when I'm boxing.)

Linda,

I'm glad to see you know what "bowdlerized" means - I had to go to library school to find out.  You are the first non-librarian I can ever remember knowing of who has used that word.  Hopefully that means bowdlerizing doesn't happen too much!  :-)

You are also the only person I've ever met who loves books even more than I do!!!

Julia
