Free Books!
Sep. 11th, 2011 08:55 amI recently moved, and discovered that I had a great many books sitting around that I shall never read again and have no desire to keep around. While normally I would just donate them to charity or turn them loose via bookcrossing, this time I thought I'd first check to see if anyone else wants them.
So, here's the deal: I shall post you any one book from this list for no cost at all. If you want more than one book, I would appreciate it if you contribute a little to postage, approximately $2 for each additional book in Australia, and $5 for each additional one sent overseas (I'll actually weigh the stack and work out how much it costs). Obviously, If you're someone I know in real life, I'm happy to dump all these on you next time we meet up. Almost all are in pretty good nick, many bought at second-hand or discount stores.
The first list then (in no particular order):
- William Goldman - Magic (movie tie-in edition, abridger of the princess bride)
- Robert Swindells - World-Eater ('Benedek' written on the cover, but otherwise fine)
Janet Evanovich - Motor Mouth (Alex Barnaby #2)Arthur Golden - Memoirs of a Geisha (movie tie-in edition, somewhat battered)Melanie Rose - Down to EarthDava Sobel - The Planets- MumNaomi Novak - Victory of Eagles (His Majesty's Dragon #5)- Terry Goodkind - Sword of Truth books #2-7
If you'd like any of these, stake your claim in a comment below. First in gets the book. Then I'll email you to get your postal address and your books will be on the way as soon as Catherinely possible.
