I mooched it. Is "Acceptable Condition" good enough?
#4, Thank you, sorchah! Condition is okay with me. 7lunacatJul 10, 2009, 4:05am

Got it for you, can you put a message on my profile giving your BM info and which book I'm angeling for you, otherwise I WILL get confused......
8: Mooched! New member with one book, so we'll have to see. :) 10RubbahJul 10, 2009, 10:56am
yay thanks:) 12TeazleJul 10, 2009, 4:40pm

Thank you so much!
I'm looking for an extra-quick European/Belgian Angel on The Doll's House. http://bookmooch.com/m/detail/0930289595The owner is unwilling to send it out of Europe, but is willing to send it to a European Angel. 15MissMacJul 11, 2009, 1:23pm

Book requested for you :) Nice being able to pay back all the mooching you've done for us. I hope!
14: Yay missmac! I would've poked you about it, but your account still says you're on vacation? Regardless, you qualify as "extra-quick". :D
>17
Got it Lunacat.
It's a newbie bookmoocher, so we'll see how it goes!
Any UK angels out there willing to send to Canada? I've had this one wishlisted for a long time: http://bookmooch.com/detail/1857028422Thanks in advance, - Geophile (same name on both Bookmooch and Librarything) 20lunacatJul 11, 2009, 3:10pm
I've returned the favour and mooched it for you, its also a newbie bookmoocher! Fingers crossed that both go ok.
Thanks so much, Lunacat!
I'll keep my fingers crossed too!
Finland Angel to the US for this book: http://www.bookmooch.com/m/detail/140120077XBook Owner, surkz Fables, Volume Two, Bill Willingham. It's a graphic novel, so is larger than a traditional paperback. -Carrie (TheDivineOomba) 23MissMacJul 12, 2009, 1:57am
Technically I am on vacation - I can't start going to the Post office again until next week, so I don't want anyone to mooch and have to wait - work has been insane lately. By the time yours arrives it'll be fine, so not a problem mooching :)
I still mean what I said - happy to send it to you for free as a thank you for the angeling you've done. 24vivirJul 12, 2009, 4:59am
>22
It seems now to be reserved for "dav". I´ll keep an eye on it, maybe I can still catch it.
24- Vivir - That happens. I expect if I wait long enough, that the books will show again. Thank You for Trying! Whats frustrating about the whole thing is that I had mooched/reserved both Fable books from the book owner and asked to hold until an Angel was found, but he rejected both outright.
25: Tiare, it's Bookcrossing, do you still want it? 28TiareJul 12, 2009, 3:14pm
#27, infinite, that would be wonderful if still available!
>29 Requested! Just as easy to send two books as one, right? :P 33lunacatJul 13, 2009, 2:49am
#31
Got it for you, can you post a message on my profile saying which book I've angeled for you, otherwise I'll get confused. I'm not the most organised person! 34TiareJul 13, 2009, 4:11am
Many thank you's to you infinite, from me! 36pameladJul 13, 2009, 5:33am
Returning the favour Rubbah. Have mooched the Australian book for you. 37RubbahJul 13, 2009, 5:46am
thankyou:)
If anyone needs a UK angel i'll help- I'm going to need the points what with all the angels I've requested recently... 38FlossieTEdited: Jul 13, 2009, 6:00am

(Ahem. I might be just a bit looking forward to this one. Fingers crossed it (a) gets accepted (b) is less hassle than the last one...) 39pameladJul 13, 2009, 8:22am
Rubbah, mooch is accepted but there's a 2 week delay in sending it. 40RubbahJul 13, 2009, 8:49am
thats OK, thanks for angeling for me
35: US book mooched for you. :) 42RubbahEdited: Jul 13, 2009, 9:30am

52- booktrash- I was able to get the 1st, 3rd, and 4th. I'm turtlegirl on BM.
52> I requested the first 2 for you, but the second two were gone!
edited to add:
Oops! what's the easiest way to handle this one? Can I release the books to the able custody of kmhyle? I'm too new to BM to be sure... 55kmhyleJul 15, 2009, 10:33am
54- ForeignCircus- if you'd like to follow through with Angeling the 2 you got, that's fine, and I can send the other 2. It looks like there were 2 copies of booktrash's first request and we both got one. I think the only way to "release" them to me would be to cancel your request, since it's not "reserved" in your name so you could ask the owner to switch the reservation. However, I've only been doing the Angel thing for about a month and a half, so other folks on here may have a suggestion.
55> I canceled the first one so I've just got the one coming- hope that's OK with you! 57kmhyleJul 15, 2009, 11:31am
56- That sounds good to me. A single book will be a good introduction to sending internationally. The last single book I sent to the UK didn't need a customs form and only cost about $6 for first class (of course that all depends on weight). 59elwenJul 15, 2009, 12:39pm
58> Mooched for you :-)
Yay! Thank you, elwen, you're a doll.
56/57: I strongly recommend using customs forms on all international mooches. They may go through without them, but would you really want to pay repeat postage? 62kmhyleJul 15, 2009, 3:39pm
61- do you mean that the PO would return it to me and I'd have to send it again? Or would they make the recipient pay something? My PO folks are the ones who said I didn't need to do customs forms unless it weighed more than a pound. Luckily, I'm still waiting for most of the books I am angeling to arrive, so from now on I'll do a form no matter what.
56- Sorry for leading you astray, ForeignCircus. That's what I love about the BM forum on LT- everyone is so helpful!!
Under a pound, you don't need to fill out a customs form. The postal clerk will weigh the package and tell you if you need one. Some people like to have them ready just in case, and postal workers will often go ahead and attach them if you ask them to. I fill a customs form out if it's a bit heavier than normal and it usually isn't needed, but it beats having to wait in line twice.
I always fill out a customs form just in case. Every time I go to the post office I just grab a bunch, so I don't have to worry about filling them out when I go to mail the books, but can do them on my own time beforehand.
I think if the book is over the weight limit and you don't have a form on it, they return it to the sender.
62> no worries. I have possibly the best post office location ever for mailing packages overseas so I know they'll steer me in the right direction. 66geophileEdited: Jul 15, 2009, 6:43pm
Any US angels out there tonight that are willing to send to Canada? I would love to mooch this book: http://bookmooch.com/detail/0812522729Thanks in advance to anyone kind enough to mooch it. Too late! In the time it took to type this, the book was gone! ;-(
hmmm...it shows as reserved for you geophile so you might be in luck! If not, let me know- I might have a copy hiding on my shelves somewhere (I know I did own it, but am not sure if it was already purged...)
edited to say: damn- this one is in the donated collection here on LT so it seems I got rid of it already. sorry!
Wow! What a great bunch or people we have here on this forum!!!
>67
Thanks so much for checking your collection for me, that is so sweet, whether you had the book or not.
The copy that showed as reserved for me was not the one that I tried to mooch--it was gone. The reason that one showed as reserved, is that one of our regular posters here (who I won't name in case it embarrasses her), searched her own collection, listed a book she hadn't planned to give away, and reserved it for me.
That's two wonderful people who were willing to give me their copies!
Thank you to you both!!!
We have an amazing group of people here! 70psybreJul 16, 2009, 5:59pm
#69 - I grabbed this for you. I'll keep you informed and send you a note on the condition when I find out.
-Mark
68: Since I'm not particularly embarrassed, I knew I had spares of one of the three Diana Tregarde books in a pile to "list on Bookmooch", searched the pile, and voila, it was the one you were looking for. :) 72lunacatJul 16, 2009, 6:15pm

Hi all. My first time to post here - hope I'm doing this in the right spot. I tried posting over at the BM forum but it seems not many people use it any more... Are there USA angels out there able to mooch this book for me: Four Months to a Four-hour Marathon http://bookmooch.com/detail/0399524150I've asked the owner to hold it so that I can organise an angel (not sure if he will have seen the message yet) so please mention it is an angel mooch if you're able to get it for me. Thanks in advance for trying Kath in Japan Name: Kath (Japan) Userid: kath75oz
80> got it. I'll let you know if it goes through... 82RubbahJul 17, 2009, 5:24am
76- just requested, can you pm me so I remember who its for.
82 -That's terrific, thanks Rubbah! I've just sent an email to your Bookmooch account with my user details. Cheers.
VeraMarie, it's gone. I hope someone else was quicker than me.
>86 Requested! I was trying not to angel, but it's so small . . .
The book is an ARC, if that's okay? 88lunacatJul 17, 2009, 12:48pm
Thats absolutely fine by me, you are truly an angel, thank you!!!!!!! 90dadenaJul 18, 2009, 2:17am
#89
I mooched the first one from you and am willing to do the second one; I'm thinking I can just mail them all together with the other two if that is okay with you.
#90 That would be perfect. Thanks! :o)
mailing her asap to add the book again and change the reservation.
Thank you!
92: Got it! It's a brand-new user, so I'll keep my fingers crossed. 94RiseJul 19, 2009, 4:53am
Thanks, Heather! You saved me again. *_*
It's already gone, I'm afraid. 99DonoghJul 20, 2009, 4:50pm

New member, but pending list looks good so far
I'll let you know how I get on
lunacat, I got it. It shouldn't take too long. It looks like the sender lives fairly near me. : )

Thank you so much SylviaO!!
Sukisue7, I would be glad to get it for you. I'm sending you a message on your profile.
Thanks, Donogh!

104: It's currently reserved so can't mooch it sorry :(
104: I was planning to try and mooch it for you sometime tomorrow, when the reserve expires?
LOL sorry I checked and on my computer it no longer showed as reserved other post is deleated.
Rubbah, I've mooched it for you. Would you send a note to my profile page mentioning the title, so I know who wanted it when it arrives? 110RubbahJul 21, 2009, 5:14pm
yay thanks! will do. I've just added a load of books to my inventory becasue I've become seriously worried about the number of angel mooches I have floating around out there:) 113padma1Jul 22, 2009, 1:01am
Thank you so much!:)
Hi, I'm looking for a US angel to Peru please... (it's a small paperback) http://bookmooch.com/m/detail/0689830521Thanks! (and I can look for a 2nd book if the angel prefers to angel 2 books instead of one)...
114: I mooched the book for you. If you have something else in mind that you might want me to mooch, it shouldn't be problem, as long as the book is relatively small. A second mooch probably won't be necessary though, since the book seems to be pretty light.
14 - infiniteletters
The mooch was rejected. He doesn't want to send to the UK either. Sorry :(
UK to US angel needed for this hardcover book: http://bookmooch.com/detail/0679463127 The book is currently reserved in my name, but if you can mooch it for me, I'll get that changed. Thanks in advance!
117: Gone. How could your friend do that to you??
118: Mooched for you. :)
>121 Requested. I'll just add it to the pile. :)
>119 I emailed you earlier- I'd mooch it for you if you want to get the resrvation changed to my bookmooch id 'gwengrrrl'
Gwen
#123 - gwengrrrl,
Thanks so much! I've emailed her about changing the ID to yours. I'll let you know when she does.
Thanks again! =D

Bit of a long-shot. Any angels from the Philippines, please? http://www.bookmooch.com/m/detail/0451214943 This Katie MacAlister book to the UK, if anyone could do it. Can probably find a second book if that would be helpful. It's for ASDfriendly. Thanks very much in advance if anyone can help :)
>135
Hi MissMac, got this one for you. Will keep you posted.
Second book would be appreciated but not required at all.
Happy mooching weekend to you :-)
Triccie aka libreria
Thank you so much Triccie :)
I'll get back to you over the weekend with another book - someone always wants something, so it's quite easy to do!
Surface mail is absolutely fine, if that helps at all. Thanks again :) 140RiseJul 25, 2009, 11:36am

I requested it for you. Will let you know how it goes.
>140 Wow! That was quick. Thank you so much. I'll leave a message on your wall.
138: Mooched for you! Isn't Notaro great? :)
Thanks so much, kineocarr -- I really appreciate it!!!
I can't believe you got it!
142: Thanks very much, infiniteletters. I'll leave a message on your wall.
I love Notaro! - her non-fiction, in particular.
> 147 Got it!
The condition notes say that it's brand new but has a red remainder mark on the lower edge -- I hope that's okay. 149RubbahJul 26, 2009, 12:59pm
thats fine, thankyou:)
Any UK angels out there willing to send to Canada? I would love to mooch this book: http://bookmooch.com/detail/0099427168I know it's a new moocher, without a track record, but I'm willing to take a chance if you are. Thanks in advance, - Geophile (both on LT and BM)
>151
I tried but they were both already gone
Geophile, I checked, but it was already gone. Is it part of the Swallows and Amazons series? Just curious.
>152 Oh, darn. Thanks for trying, Melissa!
Donogh,
I've requested- I'll keep you posted. Great book by the way- I bought it years ago for my now husband who is an active duty Marine and reading it gave me some perspective on his experiences.

Condition notes say "Previously a library book, with checkout tab on inside back cover and stamp on top edge, but otherwise it's in excellent condition." Is that okay with you?
Thanks so much, kineocarr!
Yes, an ex-library is fine for me in this case. I just want a reading copy.

US to Australia angel please for when Bookmooch is back up. Details are: Title: Manic: A Woman in Pain. A Life in Chaos. The Courage to Fight a Secret Madness. Author: Terri Cheney Owner: Maureen (USA: MI) URL: http://bookmooch.com/m/detail/000726707XAt the moment it is reserved for me so I just need your ID to let Maureen know to change the reservation - she is kindly holding the book until I find an angel. Thanks in advance
Melissa, I could send it if you're willing to wait a while? I'm trying to work through my pending...
If someone else wants to do it who can send faster, that's fine with me. :)
>176 - works perfectly for me - take as long as you need. Whilst you work your way through your pending I can work my way through my TBR :)
I'll email Maureen and ask her to change the reservation to your name after BM comes back online.
Thank you 179RubbahJul 30, 2009, 6:13am

Is there a US angel out there this morning that is willing to send to Canada? I would love to mooch this book: http://bookmooch.com/detail/034537522XA word of warning, it's a new bookmoocher, with no track record, but I'll take a chance, if you don't mind risking a wait. Thanks in advance, - Geophile
Got it for you Geophile, we'll see what happens- I'll keep you updated!
Thanks so much, Macophile!
I feel bad asking for another angel, but this book has been on my wish list forever! If there is anyone in Belgium (or Europe, the sender's profile says that he will send to Europe as well), I would be grateful if you'd be willing to mooch http://bookmooch.com/m/detail/0472065211for me (to the US). I already asked the sender and he said no. : ( 185RubbahJul 30, 2009, 9:03am

Usa-P, those are both mine. I'd send them to you myself but I get a discount when I ship within Canada. NS would have to be send expedited to the US (over 750kg) which is around $20. :( That's literally our only option with super heavy packages. :/
>220 I just sent you an email through Bookmooch.
Found a solution that may work, emailing you now!
If you two can't work something out, send me a line. I'll be happy to help you out.
No worries, she's getting it. ^_~ I'm going to pop over the border next time I get the time and send it thru USPS :) I live 5min away :D
I would love to be a Canadian angel for usa-p. Let me know if I can help!
Michelle
224: That sounds like the best method for any Canadian packages, not just the ones going to the US. :)
Thanks for the offers of help! Vikitty and I were able to arrange things, so I'm good for now.
224: I've done that a few times lol! I'm a bit farther away from the border but when I have trips planned already I don't hesitate to bring my mail-outs with me.
It's not something I can do alot since I work fulltime and I'd have to get my mum to do it for me. This was a special exception. :P
229: Wait until you see Canadian postage costs. A lot of US post offices are open on Saturdays, so it could be worth scheduling a 2nd trip. Well, depending on how much gasoline you'd use up instead.
Ours isn't open on Saturday sadly, it's just a wee one in the (mainly) vacation town of Point Roberts, WA. And they close on weekdays! WTH! :(
Thanks for trying, Rubbah! 236kmhyleAug 3, 2009, 5:43pm
235- Rubbah, I got them both. I'm also still waiting for The 10th Kingdom for you, which the owner had delayed for 1 month, but I emailed her today to remind her. 237melissasydEdited: Aug 3, 2009, 11:12pm
Australia to US angel for user Berrynat: Here is the link: http://bookmooch.com/m/detail/B002FVPVB0I received the request via email but I'm unable to angel for a couple of months. If an Australian angel is able to help and email Berrynat that would be appreciated. Thanks ETA - Aus Angels - Lman has kindly sorted this out for me
Can I snag another US to Canada angel? I've emailed this girl and she said she would send to Canada, but she has since not responded to my follow-up email. Might be easier just to have someone mooch it directly. http://bookmooch.com/m/detail/0445406488Thank you! ♥
Vikitty, I mooched that book as well. I also mentioned to her that it was an angel mooch for you, just so she knows. 241DonoghAug 4, 2009, 3:16am

Yay! Thanks so much. You are a true angel, as you've also mooched for me in the past. Much appreciated. :)
RMSacks -- She emailed me back this morning and is going to reserve it for me so it should be okay! ;D
Vikitty, I figured that's what happen when she rejected my request. That should make it easier for you. :)

I mooched the first two for you, but can't do anything about Street Magic until the reserve changes or expires. 258LmanAug 5, 2009, 4:56am
