Grand Book Giveaway!

[beetiger]

I'm doing something of a declutter, and double-deep stacked bookshelves were on my list to work on. Therefore, for you, my friends, a big pile of interesting books.

Anything on this list is yours for the price of my getting it to you, which means the cost of parcel post shipping cost plus a buck or so for packing materials and PayPal fees. Unless you live in Boston or so, in which the cost is waiting until Memorial Day and then promising to get them from my girlfriend very soon after that so they don't move from a pile in my home to a pile in her home for very long.

Let me know either by commenting here, or by email to beetiger AT LJ.

I'm rather fond of "Who Moved My Cheese." I can't find my copy, and it's such a wonderful book.

[beetiger.livejournal.com]

It's yours. Send me your address and I'll figure out the shipping and let you know.

[(Anonymous)]

the beetiger at elljaydotcom addy bounced when I tried to send you my snail mail addy.

[goodluckfox.livejournal.com]

That was me. :)

[beetiger.livejournal.com]

It usually works, and has worked for others recently -- try again?

[latzoni.livejournal.com]

Oo! How about Spiritual Mentoring?
I've been meaning to get that one for a while.

[beetiger.livejournal.com]

Yours. Just so you know, it's a prepress review copy, but I have the published version and it's pretty much identical, and an *excellent* book. Send me your address and I'll get it to you.

Also, I just realized I never got back to you about that Red Lantern imp. How about I send that along as well, and you can send me Harvest Moon and maybe a GC imp or two instead of paying shipping?

Let me know.

(p.s. if you want to talk on the phone sometime, do send your number to beetiger AT LJ. :) )

[latzoni.livejournal.com]

Email sent this morning to beetiger@ livejournal.com . Did you get it?

[akycha.livejournal.com]

I would very much like:

H.D. Collected Poems 1912-1944
1001 Unuseless Japanese Inventions, Kenji Kawakami,
and
The Kindly Ones, Melissa Scott

I need to clean off my shelves soon...

[beetiger.livejournal.com]

Yours! I assume I can just send these BlackCat Express at the end of the month?

[lediva.livejournal.com]

They'll be sent HOD. :) (Hugs on Delivery)

[walkertxkitty.livejournal.com]

You have some which happen to have been on my list for some time:

Little Altars Everywhere, Rebecca Wells
What Color is Your Parachute, 2001 Edition
Illustrated Tarot Spreads, Pilmeyer/Schirner
Polyamory:the New Love Without Limits, Deborah Anapol
Divine Secrets of the Yaya Sisterhood, Rebecca Wells
Zen Without Zen Masters, Camden Benares
The Ringworld Throne, Larry Niven
The World We have Lost: England before the Industrial Age, Peter Laslett

Let me know which ones aren't spoken for and which you're willing to let go to me. I think I've talked about my penchant for books before so they'd have good homes. I'll gladly pay what you're asking.

[beetiger.livejournal.com]

These are all yours, Tyger. Drop me an email with your addy, as I have it somewhere but not sure exactly where. I'll pack it up and figure out the shipping.

[walkertxkitty.livejournal.com]

It's public knowledge and my e-mail isn't working right now (spanks Google).

Fran Wolfe-Johnson
4531 Bondarenko Road
Keystone Heights, FL 32656

Let me know how much I owe you.

[sythyry.livejournal.com]

*blink* I can understand hunting some of those, but ... /The World We Have Lost/? That's pretty obscure!

[walkertxkitty.livejournal.com]

I tend to collect works like those for my research. You think that is obscure? You ought to see some of my "classic" texts which I picked up at Friends of the Library sales!

[beetiger.livejournal.com]

On their way to you, media mail. Six bucks or so should cover postage and fees and all. Please PayPal to vickib AT bestweb DOT net.

[walkertxkitty.livejournal.com]

done today. You should see the amount in your account.

No Shipping Needed!

[allessindra.livejournal.com]

Conglomeroid Cocktail Party
USSR Concise History
Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister
Rime of the Ancient Mariner

Let me know what of these are left; I'll happily scrounge through whatever is still left when we get up there next week! I'd take the CSFRiedman, but I have a copy and I want to leave that for someone else to enjoy.

Re: No Shipping Needed!

[beetiger.livejournal.com]

OK, those are yours! I think the remainder may be going a-flea marketing on Saturday, but if there's a pile to go through Monday, you're more than welcome. It's mostly great stuff that I just haven't managed to pick up in a decade, or stuff I somehow got more than one copy of.

[hanseth.livejournal.com]

You know, I still haven't read Fast Food Nation, and it's on my list of must-reads. And I would also love the Klutz Book of Classic Board Games, because, well, just because. :)

Shipping via Black Cat Express is just fine - clearly, we need to make sure to see her again really soon. And you also!

[beetiger.livejournal.com]

I'll put hose aside for you. And yeah, I'd really love to see you guys. Has LeDiva mentioned the Road Trip of Toddler Doom to you yet?

Sometimes just the titles are amazing

[just-the-ash.livejournal.com]

Michael Jackson's Beer Companion? The grownup side of me is perfectly cognizant that more than one adult male in the English-speaking world is named "Michael Jackson." The less grownup side of me is laughing until her lungs hurt.

And the least grownup bit of me of all is thinking that that book ought to be closely followed by The Waterworks. *sneaks off now to be immature in the corner*

Re: Sometimes just the titles are amazing

[beetiger.livejournal.com]

*grins* That other Michael Jackson is pretty big in the World O' Beer. I laughed when I first saw it too -- that's a book I collected during my Seagram days.

[creationofme.livejournal.com]

any of these good fantasys?
(:-]

[eetmewithtoast.livejournal.com]

Eva Peron: The Myths of a Woman, J.M. Taylor
Nausea, Jean-Paul Sartre
Le Colonel Chabert, Balzac (in French)

Hand them off to the lovely lediva, and I'll see if I can lure her to Providence with more derby racing or somesuch.

[beetiger.livejournal.com]

Hee. I'm tempted to hold them here for you in hopes of tempting *you* to follow up on your visit plans with roller coasters and toddler cuteness.

[eetmewithtoast.livejournal.com]

Ohhhhhhh yeah . . . you could do that. I totally owe you a date or three.

[eetmewithtoast.livejournal.com]

Oh, thank you for mailing them! *hug*

[beetiger.livejournal.com]

You're welcome -- I wanted them out of my house sooner. But that doesn't get you out of coming to visit. Write me!
