Subject: [bksvol-discuss] 25 books free to submittors to scan
Dear Booksharian Friends,
The post office has missed my business so I'm asking if anyone wants any
of these books to scan. The books and postage are free. I'm happy to mail
these to you if you plan to scan them relatively soon. I'm not interested
in validating them and once you receive them, I won't mention them to you
or to the list. They become all yours to scan and then keep, give away,
sell or use as kindling or landfill.
Please write to me off list with the number and name of the book or books
you would like me to send to you. I send them media mail. I will answer
off list to let you know which books to expect.
These give aways are first come first served. Sometimes a book is
requested by more than one person. I give it to the first person who asks,
or if one person has more books coming, I give it to the person who has
asked for only one book or has requested fewer books.
I will say I get excited when I notice one of these books described on
list in search of a validator or I see its title in the list of new books.
