Author Topic: BOOK SWAP PARTICIPANTS! CHECK YOUR MAILBOXES! (Read 9602 times)

Eric P · « **on:** June 16, 2008, 01:18:22 PM »

I'm going to try to put this all together tonight for everyone. Woo! Books!

Here is the list of participants.

GilloD <- have
Eric P <-have
Cormacaroni <-have
Synthesizer Patel <-have
Professor Prole <-have
Genghis Cohen <-have
Rebiak <-have
Debaser <-have
FlameOfCallandor <-have
Amber Lambchops
RoboJ <-have
ToxicAdam
Green Shinobi
Muckhole <-have

If you need to opt out, let me know and I'll remove your name.

What we will do is a simple swap. You PM me your address and then I’ll randomly choose who gets to select a book for whom.

I’m not going to set any “no books of this kind” to people, but if people would like to NOT receive a type of book, let me know and I’ll make certain the person who gets your name is made aware of this.

This is intended to be a give-away, not a loan. Please don’t send something you’ll miss and request back.

Please don’t be a dick and send a book that’s unreadable (pages missing, spine hosed, etc).

Please don’t send something that will get your recipient on some terror list or something which you wouldn’t want your mother to receive in the mail. This request is to protect our international friends who have less forgiving customs agents than America.

When you receive your book, please let us know what you got (I’ll make a thread for it) and when you finish it (if you finish it) let us know what you thought.

Your address will not be publicly posted.

Any questions, comments or suggestions? I can probably pull names tonight or tomorrow.

I prefer fiction to non-fiction. I'll read just about anything.

look for next week's thread where i reveal this is all a ploy to get your home addresses and steal your underwear

FlameOfCallandor · « **Reply #3 on:** June 16, 2008, 01:55:18 PM »

Whoever I get, I need to know if you want the first edition retro paperback of Atlus shrugged or a hard copy of Atlus shrugged. I would offer up my signed copy of "The revolution: a manifesto" but I want to re-read it soon.

Howard Alan Treesong · « **Reply #4 on:** June 16, 2008, 02:03:01 PM »

Gamers were livid. "Why won't you bring Persona 2: Innocent Sin to the U.S.?" they asked "Whyyyy?"

Atlus shrugged.

I refuse to read any political tracts or polemics. Period.

All you do is create an amazon.com account, and ship from within the US. For whoever ships to me, just use amazon.co.jp (a bit of a hassle but it can all be done in English...and then you can buy all kinds of wondrous animu stuffed toys and crap instead of bugging j-borers to buy/ship it for you).

Robo · « **Reply #41 on:** June 18, 2008, 11:14:47 PM »

I still haven't found anything to share.

I do have a short book of plays (No Exit 'n' some other shit) from Jean-Paul SHARTre that I'd be willing to part with whenever I'm finished reading it, which could be any time between now and two months from now.

CajoleJuice · « **Reply #42 on:** June 18, 2008, 11:17:41 PM »

Someone else who hates Sartre? Awesome.

Fucking Frenchie.

Everyone should have their PMs

a few people i never got addresses for, so i removed you from the running.

To get the list of who got who, i simply went to random.org and fed the names into a list and then shuffled it a few times more just to be certain.

Van Cruncheon · « **Reply #51 on:** June 22, 2008, 02:36:07 PM »
