Subject: RE: BS: To Good Homes - old and/or used books
Thanks, everyone!

open mike, Betty Zane has been spoken for, but Turtle Island Alphabet is yours. Just PM me your mailing addy, please. Whatever you might be able to send to Mudcat fine, if things are tight do not worry about it. I just want these to go to folks who will appreciate them. Oh, and I LOVED Hidalgo! Have you read The Cowboy and the Cossack? I'll bet you'd love it.

Sorry, Wesley, no Farina, that would be lovely, though!

gnu, thanks. We watched a guy at the local Goodwill one day. He had a hand scanner and a cellphone, looking up the worth of likely books to purchase and, obviously, resell. I tried reselling. I even have a store at biblio.com, but I just have a hard time letting them go to strangers. The best charity I've found, for me, is a shop run by pet rescuers started by a medical doc!

Thanks, Sins. I know...I never, ever, thought I'd see a day when I would winnow out my books so much, but it is freeing, in a way.
