Pimp Your Inventory: August 2010

So that this page loads quickly, let's keep offers here & discussions in another thread.

Thank you!!

and let the pimpin' progress!!

These finds from my fave thrift yesterday:

Mass Market:

Bootlegger's Daughter by Margaret Maron; Has about 5 pages coming loose from the spine at the bottom but still attached; otherwise good with tanned page edges.

A Prayer for Owen Meany by John Irving; Beat up edges and corners, browning, but tight.

Trade:

The Memory Keeper's Daughter by Kim Edwards; Good with one bent corner and wear on other corners.

The Witch of Portobello by Paulo Coelho; Very good with one slight corner ding.

A Fine Balance by Rohinton Mistry; Good with small tear on front cover.

The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time by Mark Haddon; Good with a couple of worn corners.

These aren't posted yet. Please let me know if there's anything you'd like and I'll reserve it for you. I am Kaseya on BM.

Thanks.

Posting in a seperate thread seems a little awkward. In any event..I'd love the Tolstoy KAzevedo. Same user id on BM.

Not the pimping & resultant requests, but somewhat OT discussions that have occasionally ensued.

These threads get long & not everyone has fast connections.

Doh...forgive my newbness...I'll figure it out ;)

>5 weakley: Hi weakley. Anna is waiting for you on BM. Go ahead a mooch her directly without asking for permission. Thanks

Kasey

http://bookmooch.co.uk/m/inventory/clueless

I don't mind reserving books until an Angel is found.

Just in case anyone is interested I have a BUNCH of Star Trek books in my inventory on BM...along with other stuff. The condition is various as you might expect. I see that people encourage listing condition notes. I'll try and get on that.

http://bookmooch.com/m/inventory/weakley

Thanks...Tim

I have a bunch ready to post up to BM! Anyone want to call dibs?

Please be greedy; I love sending out multiples in the package and particularly so when the multiples are part of a series.

International requests will need to ship via an Angel.

Mooched!

Healing After the Suicide of a Loved One
No One Saw My Pain
No Time to Say Goodbye
Night Falls Fast

As of this evening (hopefully I'll finish it on the train home) I'll have my copy of Interview with the Vampire by Anne Rice available for mooching. I bought it second hand, but even after I've been through it as well you can barely tell it's been read.

Evidently vampire books aren't my cup of tea.

I feel really bad, I had a complete fail on the Doctor Who books - they were all gone! Sorry for getting everyone's hopes up. Next time I will grab them as soon as I see them!

Some books I am adding to my inventory:

All now requested
Is Underground by Joan Aiken (the UK edition so it's actually called Is http://bookmooch.com/0099109212)
Secret Water by Arthur Ransome
Naked in Death by J.D. Robb
When We Were Orphans by Kazuo Ishiguro

souloftherose, I would like to mooch the Aiken and Ransome books, if I may!

#19 I was going to reserve them for you but you'd got there first! I'll send them out soon.

> 18 That's too bad...thanks for thinking of us though!!

soul ... May I have When We Were Orphans by Kazuo Ishiguro? I am also qforce on BM. Thanks.

#22 I'll reserve it for you qforce.

I cleared out some books today and posted them on BookMooch:
Hannibal and Black Sunday by Thomas Harris
The Deepest Water by Kate Wilhelm
Through a Brief Darkness by Richard Peck
Secret of the Pale Lover by Clarissa Ross

Edit: Posted one more:
Dragonsblood by Todd McCaffrey

I just added Demons by John Shirley:
http://bookmooch.com/m/detail/0345446496

A couple books I'm going to post:

The Phantom of the Opera, a clean paperback copy with no ISBN. It is published by Harper Perennial.

The Loved One by Evelyn Waugh, ISBN 44005080 (for some reason it doesn't come up for me). 1974 Laurel paperback in good shape (though slightly brittle).

The King of Elfland's Daughter by Lord Dunsany, ISBN 0048232076. 1982 paperback. The pages are a bit yellowed and the binding is slightly brittle, but it's in fairly good shape.

#26 I'd love the king of elflands daughter if its still available

I added some SF:
Isaac Asimov Space ranger
Isaac Asimov The Rings of Saturn
Robert Heinlein Have Space Suit-Will Travel,
and a load of Dutch literature.
http://bookmooch.com/inventory/wester

>24 Quaisior:, I'd love My Cousin Rachel if it's still available!

The Tale of Despereaux by Kate Dicamillo -- Mooched

to my inventory.

I'd thought I'd give people here a "head's up", because it's on multiple wishlists.
This one is a paperback in "as new" condition. I bought it new, and had one quick, careful read.

I'm also going to add three "Forgotten Realms" books by Richard Lee Byers:

The Rage : The Year of Rogue Dragons (Book 1)
The Rite : The Year of Rogue Dragons (Book 2)
Realms of the Dragons : The Year of Rogue Dragons (Anthology)

These three are in good condition.

They've now all been requested.

> 30, Could I mooch The Tale of Despereaux from you?

>31 coralsiren:

Sorry, Kimifly, someone sent me a message on my profile before your request, asking for it.

Just added a few more today by Frank Peretti:

Prophet TPB
The Oath TPB
The Visitation Hardcover

A little bit of wear on the TPB's and dust cover otherwise all in great condition.

Just added two, one of which is on 299 wishlists. Both are in good condition. I can't post them till early September though:

The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Society by Mary Ann Shaffer
and
A Guide to the Birds of East Africa by Nicholas Drayson.

I just _ran_ over to bookmooch to request the Mary Ann Shaffer book. I can wait until September, easily.

Carol, I'm glad it's going to a LTer!

#29, Great, my inventory is here http://bookmooch.com/m/inventory/sauscony Sorry it took so long to respond, I was away for the weekend.

Added a few more - sorry for the second post in one day. I forgot how much fun it is adding books to your inventory:

Mennonite in a Little Black Dress by Rhoda Janzen - gone
Home Truths by David Lodge
So Long a Letter by Mariama Ba - gone
A Girl Made of Dust by Nathalie Abi-Ezzi
A Good Land by Nada Awar Jarrar

I ship worldwide.

I would love Mennonite in a little black dress and A girl made of dust if you don't mind waiting until September to send cmt! :)

Great, jump in and mooch them! I've also just listed The Help. I'm done now (I think;) .)

ETA that Mennonite in a Little Black Dress had gone by the time I went back to my email, to Indiana.

ETA that The Help is gone now.

#34: May I have A Guide to the Birds of East Africa by Nicholas Drayson, if it's not already spoken for.

Having somehow acquired a handful of Laurell K. Hamilton books, I thought I'd see if any of you wanted them. Mass market paperback, some spine creases (mostly nothing major except Lunatic Cafe), some shelfwear, and the previous owner's name written neatly on the inside.

Guilty Pleasures
The Lunatic Cafe
The Killing Dance
The Laughing Corpse
Circus of the Damned
Bloody Bones Mooched!

Oh, and I forgot:
The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini (somewhat weather-beaten TPB)
Another One Bites the Dust by Jennifer Rardin (good condition TPB)
The Tale of Despereaux by Kate DiCamillo (HC, lots of shelfwear, no DJ, black sharpie on inside cover crossing out a name) Mooched!

I can send them all within North America, but everyone else will need an angel.

>37 Quaisior:, thank you!

> 42 PM'ed you about Another One Bites The Dust!

Just listed Brooklyn by Colm Toibin - finished it 20 minutes ago. I loved it, but I won't reread it! It's on 250 wishlists, but not the edition I've posted, and it hasn't gone yet. If you want it just hit mooch or it'll probably vanish.

Edited to say: gone, sorry.

I'm about to list my copy of Cormac McCarthy's The Road, and thought I'd offer it here first.

It's in quite good condition – a bit of creasing to the spine, some softening to the pages, the odd bump to corners. It's been covered in clear plastic coverseal. Probably not gift quality, but perfectly good otherwise. No odd smells, and no writing.

Takers?

I found a copy of Princess Academy at the thrift today. ISBN 0439888190. It's in good condition. I'll wait a little before listing it. I do ask for two mooches internationally (if you don't see anything you like in my inventory, check out my PaperBackSwap tag in my library).

http://bookmooch.com/m/inventory/wisewoman

46, joannasephine: OH! I would like the road if it is not taken already

>48 BethMC90: – Beth, tis yours! Reserved for you on BookMooch.
I might not be able to post it until Saturday, is that ok?

I just posted some paperbacks to BookMooch (also pbadeer on BM).

Gods Go Begging by Alfredo Vea - fair condition (someone scribbled on the back cover)

Tempest Down by Jeff Rovin - large format paperback. good condition

MOOCHEDVienna Blood by Frank Tallis - very good condition

MOOCHEDChoice of Evil by Andrew Vachss - heavily handled, some discoloration and creasing

49- no problem at all. Thank you!

I can't send anything out until September either, but these are the books I'll be adding to my inventory:

Vitamin Q: A Temple of Trivia Lists and Curious Words by Roddy Lumsden (Like new, minor shelf wear because the cover is black)
The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie by Murial Spark (bought second-hand, well-read but firmly intact)
The Language of Things by Deyan Sudjic (this is a wiro-bound proof copy. Some of the pictures have not been included, some still have image-bank logos on them, and none of them are in colour)
Seeing by Jose Saramago (read once)
The Joy of Work by Scott Adams (bought second-hand, good condition)

I send worldwide, but everything other than the Murial Spark and the Dilbert book will be posted via surface mail.

I'm hoping to add more to my inventory, as I desperately need to clear shelf space, but it's so hard to let go! I'm only giving away Seeing and The Language of Things because I have other copies...

inkspot, could you reserve Vitamin Q ... for me? I'm sophie on BM - thanks very much, and surface mail is fine by me!

Inkspot, could I have the Muriel Spark please? My BM link is on my profile page. Thanks!

Before I post on BM Is anyone here interested in http://bookmooch.com/0812971833
Olive Kitteridge ?

>56 Gerri007:: Gerri007, I would love Olive Kitteridge if it's not already spoken for. Thank you!

Message 57 I have posted & reserved it for you on BM

I have a spare copy of Hogfather by Terry Pratchett that I am going to list.

It's a hardcover book club edition with this cover:

http://bookmooch.com/m/detail/057506403X

In good condition but has my name written inside the front cover.

Ooh! I just converted a guy at work to BM and he might be interested in the Hogfather book (in which case, if it was cheaper for you, you could toss it in my package because I could give it to him at work). Let me check with him really quick.

He wants it! Could you reserve it for bartman? He's new so he may need a recommendation email to know it's there. Again, feel free to send it in my package. I see him daily. But I know that package keeps getting bigger and bigger...

#60 I've reserved it for Bartman (cool user id - I have the Simpsons' song going round my head already!).

It's not much cheaper to send it with your books and I had already taped your envelope closed so I'll send his separately.

53 & 54: Sophie and pokarekareana, your books are reserved :) Pokarekareana, as the Murial Spark is a bit worn, I added more detailed condition notes. If it doesn't suit you, you're quite welcome to cancel the reservation.

#63 - mooched! Thanks very much :-)

Gone-Gone-Gone

Thought I'd see if anyone here was interested in a copy of Lee Child's 61 Hours. It's been read by a few people, but it's still in good shape. PM me if you want it.

I have a copy of The Cigarette Girl by Carol Wolper available for mooching. I have no idea how I ended up with it as it's not my sort of book at all, but I thought I'd read it anyway and then send it one its merry way. It's been read but it's like new.

picked up a bunch of mm paperbacks in good shape from the library...

Deal Breaker, The Innocent, Promise Me, One False Move, Tell No One, & The Final Detail by Harlan Coben

Black Order by James Rollins
Blood Noir by Laurel K. Hamilton
One Shot Lee Child

will post on BM tonight...

I am not here to pimp anything of my own but this person just put up a fantastic inventory. Please mooch some so I will stop requesting stuff!!! Hellllllllppp!

http://bookmooch.com/inventory/lotharia

LOL! I would Belladonna, but I am pointless. ;-)

69: Help is on the way....

Awww! Jenn, you da best... But, seriously, I was being a smart aleck after my sour apples on the rant thread. They will go to good use and, Wow! I am suddenly speechless and humbled. ;-)

#69: one of her books popped up on my wishlist. a book I'm looking for a hardcover edition for a friend.... but she has in her condition notes that it is a softcover/paperback.... but doesn't have an isbn... so she posted it in the hardcover edition edition with condition notes that it is a paperback.

She thinks that it makes it ok to post it there. (But that's the edition with the most wishlists... my commentary)

GGGGRRRR!!

Check the condition notes & ask for confirmation.

someone was looking for Diane Duane Wizardy books... check your wishlists... someone posted some!! 3 somes!

74: I have some in my inventory....

These were posted by a newbie, but maybe it was your posting you had them that triggered remembering that someone had said something about them...

oh, I am so tired... brain is going... need sleep... need more merlot... need sleep...

g'night!!

I *think* someone was asking for some DD books a long time ago. So I don't think you were imagining things, lol. I'm actually rather surprised that mine haven't been mooched long before now. She's a pretty popular author.

I just listed:

The Circle: How the Power of a Single Wish Can Change your Life HC read only once - great condition

The Hundred Secret Senses TPB - crease at top of cover - otherwise in great condition

69: I don't generally list hardbacks, but would comment that I actually prefer paperback to hardback - whatever you prefer it's probably a good idea to check carefully. I also prefer UK mass market to UK trade paperback - US trade paperbacks are often more like our mass markets in size, our trade pbs are often a very awkward size and shape.

>77 Mareofthesea:

Seeing as how she just released the 9th book you may get them mooched real soon. I've got all the books in HC and I'm looking for book 8 in MM. I like to keep my HC in prestine condition so I always read the MM books.

~ Missy

You're offering them for free, macs? I would really like the Spurgeon title, and will take the rest if you like. But you must let me give you at least some points!

>82 atimco:

I've reserved them for you (just the Grace one, but I'll put the rest in the package as a bonus).

Points not really necessary :) I have a standard deal going for most of my books anyway. I have no more shelf space so I really need to unload. I have more than enough points to last me for a long while.

The new bookcases are a no go due to a shortage of funds at the moment. Since that is the case, I will be doing a major purge in the next few days so watch this thread!! :)

Stumbled upon an inventory with some Dr. Who. I know some of y'all collect those.

http://bookmooch.com/inventory/harveybiggins

Wohoo thank you!! They were going fast but I think I snagged a few :) He is set to ask first, so I asked :)

Glad to be of service. :)

>84 Belladonna1975: - If you are going to purge some books then I think we will need to move forward with that pneumatic mail tube idea lol :)

---
Ok, I've got more to pimp (the books just keep coming in today! I snagged a huge lot of books at a good price but it resulted in a couple of duplicates)

I have vols 1-5 of Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles by CLAMP but they're in Japanese.

Any takers?

I have a copy of Good Omens by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett. I am currently reading it so it should be good to mail out in a few days if anyone is interested.

I would love to have it Mareofthesea if you are willing to mail to Canada :) I am travelling until the first week of September, so there is no rush :) I am Bcteagirl on bookmooch as well!

91: I'm in Canada as well. The only thing is that I do prefer 2 mooches because of costs. I'll reserve it for you once I'm done.

Sure thing! I am sure I will find something else to mooch. I can understand that :)

havent seen "Robots of the Dawn" anywhere...its a masterpiece...

I've listed a mass market paperback copy of The Children of Men, if anyone is interested!

Thanks!

102> It's yours!

#100 - I'd like Dangerous Angels, please! I've been trying to collect the whole series, but it's slow going. Don't care about lack of dj.
Thanks much!

I do property management and one of the tenants moved out yesterday so the superintendant just brought me 4 solid boxes of books - and - and I don't know what to do with them all! AAH!

They are more than a bit musty, and the top box got rained on yesterday (it was too late by the time he discovered they were books), but oh, the GEMS.

Poetry books up the wazoo, mostly by pulitzer prize-winning authors, and non-fiction books and graduate-level texts on psychology, linguistics, psycholinguistics, neuropsychology, cognitive science, statistics, math (though I took most of these for me, and some of the linguistics books too, to be honest), and books on speech and phonetics (it looks like they have majored in childhood speech therapy or something like that). Most of the books look like they've been stored a while, but there is a college psychology textbook that is LIKE NEW and a middle-high school level coordinate geometry textbook that is BRAND SPANKING NEW.

I don't drive, so I can't lug everything home, just to lug it back to the post office after (the super brought them in on a hand trolley - and even if I did, the cost of mailing all of this is frightening), but if anything here sounds interesting to anyone, do tell me and I'll pull books for you. I go on vacation starting Fri, so it's today and tomorrow only, folks, until he brings them to them to thrift store.

And someone was looking for a book to help them with calculus, wasn't there? I pulled it for you, whoever you are!
Quick Calculus 2nd Edition A Self-teaching guide

I pulled a few fiction & other books that I think people would want:

Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson. TPB looks never read, but is a little musty.
ONly Revolutions by Mark Z. Danielewski. I just mooched this one for me. THis is an ARC, Very good condition - but also musty.
Mathematical Mysteries by Calvin C. CLawson. Pop-math. I just mooched one myself or I'd take this one. VG, but a little musty.
James Tiptree, Jr. The double life of Alice B. SHeldon - Hardcover w/ Dust jacket. VG but a little musty. Too heavy for intl, but I'd hold for an angel.

BM ID macsbrains for when I list them (sorting still; not yet listed), sorry about the tl;dr - and nothing is moldy, just musty. My allergies remained untriggered.

105> It still has a picture on the cover, so it looks nice. I will post it for you now.
106> I would like Only Revolutions, please! ** says the woman who is supposed to be purging books, not mooching them**

>106 macsbrains: Ooh, what poetry? Anything recentish (published since 1980 or thereabouts)?

.103: If Warriors from the Deep (Dr. Who) I would love to have that to Canada please :) No problem with waiting to mail!

109> I will post it for you now and add it to your pile :)

Ooh, Snow Crash, please, macsbrains. My SO would be very pleased and I aim to keep him happy with the BookMooch thing.

-106- I am looking for Letters to a Young Poet by Rilke and Short and Sweet (Short poems, Faber Poetry) if you spot either in there! :)

Edit: Seeing which ones I need for challenges I am in right now.. I also need:
Stung with Love: Poems and Fragments, by Sappho

Message 103
I would like Stardust - Neil Gaiman
Add it to my other books for Sept. please.

113> Posting it for you now Gerri. I also noticed you were reading The Forgotten Garden. How are you liking it? I am about 2/3rds of the way through it and I am loving it. It reminds me so much of The Thirteenth Tale. Have you read that one?

>107 Belladonna1975: - haha I know, right? I was just about to take it easy on BM for a while and during my vacation week I planned on reorganizing my shelves by warping space-time to make everything fit again. We see how that worked out. It'll be about 2 weeks before I can send, because of said vacation.

>108 joannasephine:

I thought of you and the fainting spell you might have if you had access to this box. Most poets I recognized, those I didn't all said pulitzer on them. I took most of the Merwin and the Rilke. There was another that she had a lot of Ammo-something? (Sorry, the packed the boxes away for the night since I leave work in 5 mins) but if you have specific poets in mind, let me know. Or if you just want a whole box of poetry, I can do that too. The previous owner seems to have had demanding taste.

>111 RidgewayGirl:

I'll save it for you and list it over the weekend. It will be about 2 weeks before I can mail it because I'm taking a much needed vacation.

>112 Bcteagirl:

They did have Letters to a Young Poet, and I snagged it for me, but I'll send it to you :) There were a couple by Rilke I'll have to check if the other one is in there. They were in the top box that got wet, so some of them aren't as nice. I'll look tomorrow.

114 Loved the The Thirteenth Tale & although I find The Forgotten Garden a different style I am definately enjoying it, about 3/4 done & have to go to nephew's for barbeque shortly...grrr. Bad when you want to stay home & read not visit family.

Was watching for your inventory purge was sure there would be something there to catch my eye. New to reading Neil Gaiman.

I brought a box of books to the cottage & will probably bring 2 home. LOL

116> This was the pre-purge purge. You ain't seen nothin' yet!

117 Evil Woman...make that 3 boxex...lol

> 101 I would love the below books if still available!

My Soul to Take - Rachel Vincent - ARC, some wear, decent condition
Night Watch - Sergei Lukyanenko - Very Good Condition
99 Coffins - David Wellington - Ex-Library, some wear

#101 I would love Twilight Watch by Lukyanenko if it's not spoken for and you're able to send it to the UK. Whenever you can send it - it's not like I don't have enough books to read!

>115 macsbrains: Sigh! Where do I start?! Fill a box sounds like the simplest solution.
(I've spent the last ten minutes typing lists and then erasing them, so I'll leave it up to you.)
If you feel so inclined, you could check my LT American Poetry list first to see what I already have copies of. Although I'm more than happy to take potluck. (I'm unlikely to have trouble rehoming any duplicates …)
:-)

edited for spelling and clarity

Bella, could I take The Road if it's still free? Thanks!

106: I am interested in poetry anthologies by American or Canadian poets. Is there anything in there that would fit?

saving my points for the REALLY good stuff...

>115 macsbrains:

I'll try to prevent duplicates. :) I'm sure with the sheer number of books that there will be several that will be interesting :)

>122 Mareofthesea:

Most of the poetry books were collections, not anthologies, but I will set aside any I find on my second go-through :) I wish I'd had more time to do an full inventory. I just came back from lunch and there was the hand trolley piled high stationed next to my desk.

>106 macsbrains: & poetry: If there is any poetry there by Carol Ann Duffy, I'd be really interested . . . .

Oh man..I would love The Court of The Air - Stephen Hunt - Slight spine creasing, otherwise excellent condition but I am low on points :P Always the way. Nice selection of books!

Ok, I think I have everything posted for everyone who has requested everything so far including weakley. You never know when you might get a few points! :)

Bella be da sweetest! I have proof! ;-)

Bella,
I'd love to have the Angel's and Demon's book by Dan Brown. You could put it aside and as you make your lists of books you are purging I'm sure I'll find something. We appear to have very similar tastes as I've mooched a few from you already.

Mac,
I'd love to have some poetry, if there are any collections on weather or in a theme, by Canadian authors, 17th Century, Victorian or any Emily Dickinson.

~ Missy

129> I have posted it for you. I am backed up with pending mooches to send until Mid to late September anyway. I am sure I will post something else between now and then that you will be interested in.

106: macsbrains, I sent you a message but I'll post here as well just in case: please can you keep the James Tiptree Jr. bio aside for me? I'm in South Africa, so will arrange for an Angel. Thanks!

Thanks! Hopefully I get a couple of points in the next while. I really appreciate it.

Tim

>125 crimson-tide: No Carol Ann Duffy :( Sorry.

Anyone else who inquired about my massive haul of books will be getting a PM today. :)

#133: Why don't you keep posting the rest of your massive haul here instead of sending PM's to those making inquiries? I too would like to see the list of Pulitzer-winning poetry books to test my chance. Thanks.

#134: possibly to prevent fights breaking out?

Have you ever seen a book fight? nasty!!

Think about what it is like on the first day of a really good used book sale... especially when they open!!

YIKES!!!

135> That reminds me of the book fight in The Eyre Affair. Those ladies were vicious! LOL

>135 skittles:, 136 : *cracks knuckles* Just wait until I get my hands on the member who snagged your copy of Twilight Watch out from under me, Belladonna! :)

*Cringes at the sound of cracked knuckles*

Heehee! Thanks for all the hard work Macs!!

>134 qforce:

Short answer is because the books were given to me here at work and, being at work, I can only respond intermittently. Can only carry so many home, also, is why I asked for authors I could pull. I went through them this morning when I got here for the above requestors, but will be lunch time before I can look again.

#137 *Runs and hides*

Ya'll are a wee bit scary. Saying that, I dare you to fight off my kitten. She'll take one look at you, and you'll hand over the books, no problem! :D

Y'all crack me up! ;-)

Ok, I was able to make a list of the poetry - they are mostly paperback. I'm offering ridiculous point deals for them (4 for 1) - I just couldn't bear to see them tossed. Will send light packages overseas, but can't afford to do too many at the moment.

>133 macsbrains:: Thanks for looking.

>149 Quaisior: I'll take Violet & Claire :) BM id same as here.

146> I resent the implication that I have a huge pile of books for you to send me! I prefer to think of it as a small mound. ;)

152: On my, can I take the three Ilona Andrews books, please? I've been looking for them forever!

PS. This thread is AMAZING this month! Tons of good finds!

153> Yay, for starting a small mound for you!

154> YOU, however are starting a pile!

Hehehe **Thinks all this purging is making me giddy**

Thanks Bella!

Ashbery's A Wave
Berryman's Collected Poems 1937-1971

>167 susiesharp:, What does "deckled" mean? Thanks

Kasey it's rough, uneven page edges

and

French Lessons: Adventures with Knife, Fork and Corkscrew by Peter Mayle 1st edition like new

ETA - Also added: Chicken Soup for the Surviving Soul TPB with small dog ear bottom of cover. Inscription opposite contents page. Title is different than what touchstone or isbn has been bringing up.

Message 160

The Martian Chronicles by Ray Bradbury please

I requested a second book thru BM from your inventory

Message 168
If no one has asked I would like The King's General '

I'm Gerri 07 on BM

Thank you...will go get it now..No rush on delivery but before May 2011 (That was a response from a mooch I made today ...The answer was yes to the mooch but delivery would be May 2011)

Welcome, Gerri! LOL I saw that... wow... just wow. Give me til after the 1st and I can get it out. ;-)

Really not in a hurry but 9 mos is excessive I think

Just a tad... a smidge... okay, that's just ridiculous! ;-)

Hi Gerri. I've reserved the Martian Chronicles for you, but didn't see any other book mooched. I've been adding to my inventory all afternoon. I'm Kaseya on BM

Thanks.

Gerri, did you request a book or a baby to be delivered in 9 months??

I hope not a baby !!! What a thought !! You're bad Skittles

#181
It was the other Ray Bradbury. I just mooched it now. Thank you for sending both books to Canada.

As I said no rush on delivery but before "the baby" arrives....LOL

Gerri, horse babies take 11 months. ;^)
Don't worry, I'll be sending them next week.

>160 KAzevedo:: May I please request A Fine Balance by Rohinton Mistry and
Dancing Girls by Margaret Atwood.

I know the Mistry book is a real whopper, so I completely understand if you don't wish to send it internationally - please just say no if that's the case.

I'm scarecrow204 on BM

@KAzevedo, is the Roddy Doyle book you have a paperback or a hardback? If it's a hardcover with a dust jacket, I would like to mooch it, please! I'm trying to get all of his works in hardback. :)

>186 crimson-tide:; Both are reserved for you. I am very happy to send them, especially with a double mooch. Thanks,

>orangewords; Sorry, the Doyle book is a trade paper.

Kasey

I would love to get Dragonsblood from you. I am dewasus on BookMooch and dewasus1 on LibraryThing. How could I mooch this from you?

I just put up 4 Robert Jordan mass markets and the first Diana Gabaldon Outlander book in Excellent condition if anyone is interested.

#189, I just changed my account to ask first and I am willing to send to Canada (and Mexico too). All other countries, I can't afford to send to but I will reserve for angels.

These will be posted Sun night if not taken before.

>192 KAzevedo: I would really love to have five quarters of the orange if it is still available. thanks.

and I highly recommend The Shipping News I read it last year and loved it.

P.S. I'm also glendaham on BM

I recently acquired about 50 copies of The Artist's Magazine dated a few years back. I'm still looking through them, but plan to be listing them in the near future. Any artists out there with an interest?

I've posted one so far, if you'd like to take a look.

http://bookmooch.com/m/inventory/iwillrejoice

I've been eying The Shipping News, but points are low right now... ::sigh::

Glenda, "Five Quarters" is reserved for you.

iwillrejoice, I can hold it for a while if you would like.

Kasey

Is there anyone on pbs that would be willing to swap a pbs credit for a bm point?

Oh my... I just received an anonymous smooch! Thank you, whomever smooched me!

What I am actually looking to do is to give a bm point in trade for a pbs credit that I need for a book on pbs. I did not explain myself very well :-/

And, Secret Smoocher... You are da bestest! I will pay it forward!

#196 - Kasey,

Thanks! That would be great! =D

198> It is usually very hard to trade BM points for PBS points. Those PBS points like gold. They are harder to come by for most. I only have 2, myself and I have 100+ BM points.

Just wanted to respond so you wouldn't think everyone was ignoring you. We are just sitting on our PBS points like a dragon does his hoard (even though mine would be a very small hoard, indeed).

:)

Hahahahaha! I kind of figured that would be the case! Thanks for the response, Bella!

#201: you can buy PBS points... check the book bazaar, there are usually a few members selling some there at any one time. It really helps to have a paypal account to send them the money. Makes things much faster!

I know, I am tight on money... have to save for shipping. ;-) Thanks, for the info, though! ;-)

#196 - Kasey,

I can mooch The Shipping News now (thanks to a kind Smoocher!), if you want to reserve it for me. =D

::doing a Snoopy dance::

Auuugh! I've been kissed by a Snoopy...get the Iodine ::Does the Lucy running around in a circle::

Heehee! Shipping News is in mount TBR right now iwillrejoice, you will have to let me know how you like it :)

I will! =D

206- It's reserved for you Gail. I just read it last month; it's one of my favorites of the year. Just a great story!

I don't really expect anyone to want these textbooks (EDIT: ...although I was apparently wrong!), but I thought I'd throw them out into the universe in case there IS someone who wants --

Speech 115 (John A. Logan Edition), 1st Edition by Cindy L. Griffin

>231 I-_-I:

I will go reserve it for you now...

Just mooched it. Very cool... thank so much!!

OK here is my dilemma. I have done a HUGE purge of my Mass Markets and I have about 50 (most highly wishlisted) books to give away on BM. I would of course, give you guys first dibs.

I currently have about 60 books to send out (24 of which are going out next week).

So here is where the question comes in, do I hold off on posting them HERE and wait until my to be sent pile goes down to a more manageable level...OR...do I go ahead and list them here for you guys with the understanding that it may be a while before you get them.

Either way, I am not going to post them directly to BM until I get some of these pending books out of here, but I thought since you guys were my peeps, you might not flog me for making you wait a few months for them.

Thoughts?

I certainly wouldn't mind waiting a few months. To know that eventually the book(s) will come would be just fine... i don't think any of us are in danger of running out of reading material in the meantime!

Belladonna's Big Purge - it's the highly anticipated event of the season. :)

#234: I think you are saying that you'd give us first dibs by posting them, then put notes on them until you could post them??

First of all, I can completely understand the wait to post until you can afford to send them! That is great! and it is smart!

Second, we'd get first chance at them, but what if we found a copy after that... yes, we'd rather get them from you, but what if we forgot.

My suggestion... only a suggestion... is to wait.

(YES I WANT YOUR BOOKS!!!!!! I WANT TO KNOW WHAT YOU HAVE & I WANT THEM NOW!!!)

but we will still be here... the books will still be wanted... in many cases, very badly... but rather than make you keep records of who wanted what book, put them in a box & when you can afford the postage, let us know... and only let us know how many you can send out.

Or say, I can send out 10 books, after I get 10 requests, I am pulling the list. and edit your post to remove the books when you've had 10 requests. I plan on doing that when I can afford to send some books friends have given to me to post.

But most importantly, Choose the way that feels the best for you!

Good Luck!!

(& if I'm on the wishlist for ANY... let me know!! **wink wink**)
(just kidding... sorta)

What skittles said! *snort*

Aw shucks... of course you should do what feels best for you! Just excited is all...

Here's me feeling sheepish.

;-) @ jf

Bella, I wouldn't mind waiting a few months for books to be sent, if you post any I'm wishing for, but I say do whatever is least likely to be overwhelming for you.

236> Actually, I would go ahead and post anything to BM that you guys wanted from my list, I just wouldn't put the rest (that you guys didn't want) up on BM until I get my pile down.

I guess I am just excited to show you guys the good! ;)

but you might find that we want EVERYTHING!! and probably do want EVERYTHING....

but do you want that hanging over your head for the next few months?

Yes, we would be nice about it, but what if someone else saw all of the delays & reported you... just cause they can... I don't want trouble for you....

or stress from knowing that people want your books as soon as possible... even though we are willing to wait, we'd still want them.... yesterday... even though we are willing to wait for them.

I'm just trying to minimize the stress on you!

Reality is that we can wait.
What we don't know can't hurt us... in this case, that is!

*snort* What skittles said! ;-)

I won't be getting any points for awhile anyway... waiting on bunches right now.

I've just read your postings for the first time. Don't know what most of the words mean, but I'm DEEPLY interested in books. So, if I can join your group, please let me know how, etc., and possibly I can make new friends while I'm at it. B

@historywitch

I would like The Vagina Monologues, please! I'm also orangewords on BM. :)

Found a few duplicates tonight. Not sure how *that* happened, since I thought I was keeping track of things... Anyway, here they are:

A Map of the World by Jane Hamilton

#244 - Hi, bschultz1149 - the people posting in this group are all members of Bookmooch.com, a site that lets you list books you want to give away and get books back - each book you post out gains you a point if sent in your own country, and three points if you send abroad. Hope you can join us!

#230 I'd love Soiled Doves if you dont mind sending to the UK :)

#245 I'll list it for you now

>248 historywitch:

I am always happy to send internationally, but especially Canada and the UK. The book's been reserved for you.

(I was born in England and all the rellies except for immediate family live in England)

Re Belladonna's to list for us/not to list yet

Actually, you have small piles for some of us, right? If you list what you have now, even if there's a wait, you can save postage by sending more to us at once.

Just a thought. (and of course, I want MORE books! lol)

Belladonna: ditto to ealaindraoi but really whatever wks best for you :-)

I have available good used copies of:

The Wind in the Willows

Snow Flower and the Secret Fan

BONS, if your copy of The Eyre Affair is still available and if you're willing to ship it to Canada (or wait for me to locate an angel), i'd love to mooch it. I'm jfc on BM. Let me know! :)

jfThing, I will reserve it for you in the am under Bo and will send you notification.

Message 223 May I have Anansi Boys by Neil Gaiman;

>254 BONS:: Wonderful! Thanks Bo.

241 Belladonna,
You already have some books for me. If you want to go ahead and post here...great..I'm always ok with delayed delivery but agree the decision is entirely yours

I'm really excited as I'm sure you have some books I would like to mooch but I have a desktop computer with a really heavy old CPU so impossible to carry around.

Will have to move sleeping bag & hot plate close to puter so as bot to miss mooches.

Books !!! what I do for you !!

It is so nice to know that I am not the only person who feels that way about books. Gawd, I love this place! ;-)

I think I am going to hold off for a bit so I can get some of my pending stuff out. But, you guys have first dibs as always! :)

Thanks, Bella! ♥

Good idea Belladonna.
I'll put sleeping bag away,unplug hot plate & go to bed.

;-) @ Gerri!

Gerri, I was just on my way to PO when I caught your message. Happily I was able to tuck Anansi Boys into your package. But I didn't add it to my inventory yet which I will do in a while for you to mooch.

Kasey

KAzevedo Great ...I'm glad it caught you before the post.

Post & send reminder please & I will mooch.

Thank you for the quick delivery & great books.

Arrgh! Another duplicate!

I think I've figured out the problem, tho. It's when I go to Goodwill (charity shop) that I pick them up. 3 this time! =:0

The current one is Welcome to the Great Mysterious by Lorna Landvik.

Any takers?

http://bookmooch.com/m/inventory/iwillrejoice

I have to offer the following book in good condition with minor creases:
Blood Rites by Jim Butcher

In a thrift shop in my neighborhood is a 'book action' these days... Buy one book, and get a second for free.

I bought 'all' the English books (3), and have added two to my inventory (I keep the 'English Pronouncing Dictionary' ;-)!)

Hávamál - The Sayings of the Vikings (Translated from the original by Björn Jónasson). Book is not or hardly read, but has a dog-ear in the back cover.

Man and Wife (Tony Parsons) - not or hardly read, remainder mark on bottom edge

Anne, Can you reserve the "Hávamál - The Sayings of the Vikings" for me?

So sorry... I promise that the next time I 'pimp my inventory', I mention those books here first, before actually adding them to my inventory.
This is already the second time that you are only minutes (or maybe seconds) to late, and someone else mooched one of my books from under your nose.
I was tempted to tell that other lady, that I erroneously added a wishlist book to my inventory, but that would have sounded very strange if she had read this thread too...

So next time I tell what I am going to add here, and wait a bit before I add them.
(That book was not wishlisted, so I thought there wouldn't be many people interested...)

No problem, Anne! (I have Viking blood in me so was intrigued) Maybe next time! ;-)

I have a copy of Red Harvest by Dashiell Hammett.

It's one of the old Penguin Crime editions with the green covers, first published in 1963, and cover price 2/6 (!). There are spine creases, general shelf wear and scuff marks, and the pages are slightly yellowed on the edges, but overall it is in pretty good condition considering its age. There are no stickers and the text is clean (the only mark is a small number '315' written at the top right of the inside first page). Happy to send internationally.

I know that at this time of year, people start looking for textbooks.

I've just added to my inventory:
Selected Poetry and Prose of John Dryden by John Dryden

http://bookmooch.com/m/detail/007553553X

It has slight wear, but is in decent, readable condition (see the book entry for detailed condition notes).

I have a paperback copy of Deerskin by Robin McKinley. Yellowed pages, some shelfwear.

Just posted Hell by Yasutaka Tsutsui (taken)

http://bookmooch.com/m/inventory/squeakychu

It's a hardback, BookCrossing-registered copy. USA only, please.

I picked up a couple of books today which I thought I'd offer here before they go up on BookMooch

Girl with a Pearl Earring by Tracy Chevalier - Film tie in cover; price written in pencil on first page; back bottom corner is a bit bent and spine is slightly creased but otherwise good condition

The Eyre Affair by Jasper Fforde - Cover with multicoloured car; barely noticeable creasing to the spine but otherwise it doesn't look like it's been read

The Night Watch by Sarah Waters - Paler patch on front cover where sticker removed; spine and corners a bit scuffed; some light marks (possibly makeup?) on back cover

276> If The Eyre Affair is a QP, I would love to mooch it. If it is a mass market paperback, I will pass. My friend is looking for the UK QP version of that book to match all her others. :)

My user ID is the same on BM, Thanks!

I have no idea what that means, I'm afraid *hangs head in shame* The ISBN is 9780340733561 if that helps?

278> That's OK :) A mass market is just your regular small paperback. They are usually printed on a lesser quality paper. A QP (Quality Paperback) is also sometimes referred to as a Trade Paperback and it is larger (sometimes even the size of the regular hardback but with a paper cover instead.)

From the ISBN, I can see this book is a mass market which, unfortunately isn't what my friend is looking for.

Thanks though!

deleted.

I'm freeing up some shelf space in the coming days. This should get filled out a bit:
http://bookmooch.com/m/inventory/litclique

I did a bit of "curb shopping" tonight and brought home a box of books, which I will be sorting through and posting a bunch from later tonight.

Wee Hee Mooching time !!!

Okay, I already got most of the books sorted and posted. I'm not going to list them all here, but there are some true crime, three Patricia Cornwells, horror... http://bookmooch.com/m/inventory/sauscony

@276 - If The Eyre Affair is still available could I possibly mooch it? Thanks

I've just added to my inventory:

Big Jack by J.D. Robb
http://bookmooch.com/m/detail/0425234908
It has slight wear, but is in pretty good condition

Bunnies In The Bathroom (Animal Ark #15) by Ben M. Baglio
http://bookmooch.com/m/detail/0439097002
Children's book -- In good condition

The Boggart by Susan Cooper
http://bookmooch.com/m/detail/0689801734
Children's book -- Pretty good condition. -- Requested

(For all of these, see the book entries for more detailed condition notes).

Must be my day for "channeling" the letter "B"! ;-}

I have a Picador ARC of Cormac McCarthy's all the pretty horses that has no ISBN that I can find but looks like this: http://bookmooch.com/detail/0394574745 This small paperback shows evidence of some water damage --some wavy pages and water stains-- but no signs of mold or mildew.

I send worldwide.

I've added a lot to my inventory, and am looking to send these to good homes relatively soon, if possible. Please take a look!

288: I told myself I wasn't going to mooch any more baby name books! I have like EIGHT already! Oh well, I don't have a Hebrew one yet, so I guess it's okay? lol

Just listed Alanna: The first adventure by Tamora Pierce
Its an odd edition, only one wishlister, but I know the other editions have 40+ wishlisting it.

> 19

You know you need it. The Hebrew ones are the best names! ;)

ETA: ...from someone who gave all of her three kids Hebrew names. :)

#288 I mooched The Prince: The Secret Story of the World's Most Intriguing Royal, Prince Bandar bin Sultan . . . it just sounds intriguing

I'm gearing up to put a dozen or so books in my inventory, and most of them are healthily wishlisted. Instead of listing each book individually in this thread, I've set detailed condition information, ISBN, cover artwork, etc. up in the Moochable collection within my secondary LT account:

http://www.librarything.com/catalog/nonsense/moochable

If you would like to snag a book, please leave a comment in the Nonsense account. (I thought that by directing all comments to the Nonsense account I'd cut down on different people pouncing on the same book. As requests are made, I'll move any books that have been snagged out of the Moochable collection and into a Reserved collection as well, to help avoid disappointments.)

International requests will need to ship via an Angel, please, but feel free to request away. The shipping date is expected to be mid-September.

:)

I am going to pull my inventory this weekend so that I can make way for all of the new stuff, so get it while it's still hot!

http://bookmooch.com/m/inventory/belladonna1975

I'm new to LT, been on BM for quite a while now... as have some of my inventory:

http://bookmooch.com/m/inventory/cricketgirl

The ones that are refusing to move are:

David Baldacci -Hour Game
Christopher Evans - Mind at Bay
Maggie Butt - Lipstick
James Knight - Lee2
David Frith - Battle for the Ashes

my own fault really - these are the random bits left over from big boxes of books I have picked up at clear outs... Should really just give up and donate them/bin them, but I'm stubborn!

*edit - I'm UK based but post anywhere*

#285 I'm afraid it's gone now. It went fairly swiftly. Sorry

I've just added two historical fiction books to my inventory after realising I have no more shelf space at all.

Fire and Shadow by David Hillier - Story based on a manuscript diary of a mediaeval lady who joined the crusades
Farewell, My Queen by Chantal Thomas - Fictionalisation of the last days of Versailles

As always, I'll ship anywhere but only by surface mail outside of Europe.

>296 Ygraine: I'd love to take Fire and Shadow, if still possible to mooch. I'm marabw on BM.

My new inventory is going up tomorrow (in theory, it depends on how lazy I'm feeling!) so I've just picked the 10 books off my bookshelf that will be put up. Before I add or subtract anything from my inventory, I'll look on here to see if anyone has staked a claim to anything!

If I decide not to send to your country, I will reserve it anyway in your name to give you a chance to find an Angel.

Needless to say this is also the last chance to stake a claim to something from my August inventory!

Apologies for mispellings and lack of touchstones - I'm a bit of a dimwit!

>298 svh_mad:: Would love Thirteen Reasons Why. It's on my wishlist. Sent you a message. Thanks!

My five year old found a copy of one of her favourite books in a charity shop today and bought it using her pocket money-she wants me to put it on Bookmooch to someone who really wants it. She has got lots of books she loves from Bookmooch and wants to give something back.

Its the wrestling princess by Judy Corbalis.

'If you've always thought princesses were wishy-washy girls who sat waiting for handsome princes to slay dragons for them, you'll be amazed by the princesses in this book, who drive fork-lift trucks, pilot helicopters and do their own dragon-slaying... So read on and meet a metal parrot who just keeps on growing...A pink elephant who likes to do tricks at the seaside...and of course those extraordinary princesses'.

Happy to send international as always.

Edited to add, pb, yellowed pages with shelfwear and bends to the cover.

300> Sent you a PM!

@299 - Consider it yours! I've uploaded it to my inventory (while I remember) and reserved it in your name :)

@300 - Not going to lie, I'm seriously considering adding that book to my Wishlist!

#301, its yours

#297 I've reserved it for you. I'm Ygraine on BookMooch too.

I have a copy of:

The Truth by Terry Pratchett - very good condition, and
Thus Was Adonis Murdered by Sarah Caudwell - a Penguin Crime from 1982 but in reasonably good condition.

Neither is listed yet, so let me know if you're interested. Happy to send either internationally.

It's September! A new thread has been started here: http://www.librarything.com/topic/97748

>300 historywitch:: sounds like a summary of a book I have here somewhere, that's called 'Prinses Papierzak' (Princess Paperbag).
I should have a look at it, maybe it's a Dutch translation of the book your daughter loves so much...
