Books #4

Here's a new batch of books I'll be donating. In a few days, I'll draw names from a bowl if more than one person would like the same book. I hope some of 'em find a new home!

I'll be happy to ship these books by Media Mail to keep the cost down.

If you'd like to see a photo, or would like more info about the edition, size, condition, etc., please ask!

If anyone decides they'd like another book listed in this thread, please let me know and I'll be happy to send it to you if I haven't donated it yet.

 

OMG, I did too. Then I gave it to my 10 yr old nephew on xmas one year, and solitair became his obsession.

Our family has never had anything against giving used books as gifts, "just so you know, I did read that book before I wrapped it." Was kind of a running joke when you gave someone an obviously old book or well thumbed book.

 

Lilfont, that is funny - I love family jokes!
