A while back, y'all helped me raise $300 to help with food and tuition for
the new teenager. One of you even bought $150 worth of my books to donate
-- they're going to a school in Africa. Thank you all!

I'm going to keep selling my books until they're gone, and then I may
start on my CDs. Please take a look if you want. The tags contain the
price and usually a note about the condition of the book. This time
around, shipping is a flat $2, no matter how many books you buy.

If you want any of the books, comment here or send me an email, and I'll
write back to let you know which ones are still available (in case someone
else wrote first). I'll remove the books from the list as they sell.

My goal: empty bookcases, no loans from mom, who can't afford it any more
than I can.

Okey-dokey! I should be home from my volunteer job around 5:15, and then we have dinner at 7. *hugs*

But you only owe me $18. :-)

Simone de Beauvoir, for baby Simone here? ;)

(And if it would help -- maybe raise the price a dollar or two -- you could certainly get your BBE2 signed by one, if not two (IIRC) of the authors. ;) )

Sure! $1. $3 if you want it delivered, but I can give it to you at 2nd Sunday if you'll be there.

(Oh, and the BBE is sold already, and I believe the buyer is also one of the authors. :-)

Will you be at 2nd Sunday? If not, should I leave it with Deb or mail it to you?

Can you please explain how to read the prices?

Date: 2008-10-06 07:33 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] serenejournal.livejournal.com
Sure. The tags have numbers in them. .5 means 50 US cents. There's nothing that's more than 5 dollars, so the rest are 1-5 for $1 through $5.

Oh, my gosh, I thought I already sent those out. Please forgive me. I'll check the shelf and write to you tonight. Yeesh, and I was so proud of keeping track of everything. *chagrin*

I think I'd go for Madhur Jaffrey's World-Of-The-East cookbook and the Tassajara bread book. I also recently found a bunch of books I'm borrowing and I think "My Favorite Horror Story" was yours, so I'll probably buy that too (unless you'd prefer something else to happen with it).

Date: 2008-10-06 08:05 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] serenejournal.livejournal.com
Oh, no, the horror-story book was a gift. $6 please, if you're up for picking them up. $8 if you want them mailed. Just let me know which.

I'm having trouble figuring out the prices, but if they are less than $5 or less (as you said in a comment above) I'll take these:

The Year of Living Dangerously
Orlando: A Biography
Open Secrets: Stories
The Icarus Girl
The High Cost of Living
The Female Man
Blown Sideways Through Life
Best Lesbian Erotica 2001
Baring It All
Bad Behavior

email me w/ a total and your paypal address and I'll send payment and the shipping address. for reasons too boring to go into, i'll be using my bf's paypal account

i also have a proposition for you. I collect books for the hospital near me - so whatever you don't sell (even if it's racy, I like to push their boundaries and they haven't rejected anything yet) you sell to me and I'll donate to them. Unless it's really a lot and I can't afford it, in that case, I'll let you know and take 1/2 of them or something. But I'd love to be able to help you and them out at the same time. And in the interest of full disclosure, my best friend is a writer, I'd probably let her pick over the "how to be a writer" books before I took them to the hospital. Does this sound agreeable to you?

.... and if the left overs come to too much for you, let me know and I'll help pitch in for the donation. Books ought to be donated. All the time. As much as possible. But not until those of us bookaholics get our greedy mits on the ones we want. (I got mine!)
