Shirithian Book Faire!

Post by Kaiseress Semisa I »

In an effort to pare down my overwhelming book collection, I've decided to get rid of a few of them.

The following is a list of the ones currently up for grabs. I'd appreciate about $2 a book, but if you want it and don't want to pay, I'll see what I can do.

Irregardless, if you're overseas (or even not within driving distance of me) I'd appreciate it if you paid shipping (or at least half-shipping) so I won't be too out of pocket for providing a service.

Makes sense, right?

Alright, now here's the list. Ones in bold are hardbacks, ones in italics are decommissioned library books.

By the way, I'll update this list as I find more books to give away.

...like the second copy of "Ender's Game" I just found.

This is cool, but you know what will be even cooler? THE DAY WE START SELLING BOOKS IN ERB! I can hardly wait.

Not much I need in there, but you have good taste in books.

And to think, those are the ones I'm getting rid of.

Though, Scott, if you haven't read Lindsey Davis, I'd recommend her. It's mysteries set in Vesuvian-era ancient Rome. Pretty good, too.
