Ones struck through have been claimed but I don't have an address. If you want any of those, they're still around for the taking. Maybe. Never hurts to ask!

Oooh, can I claim Teach Yourself Yoga and Made in America? And if you never get an address for Utopia & Reality, I’ll be greedy and take it too. I didn’t chime in fast enough last time. (And just add shipping to what I owe you for Project Rae… I don’t want to make you pay to send me free books)
ReplyDeleteFair warning, the Utopia & Reality book is a big sucker; it's got textbook content in a hardback "coffee table book" format. Shipping will be pretty significant on that bad boy.
Delete(Why do you people even want this book? It seems like such a weirdo niche topic to me! When I put it on the list I thought, "Surely this one will end up a library donation! Surely!")
That’s fine with me. It just seems really interesting for some reason. I’m currently intrigued by Modernism and how it relates to quilting (there’s a huge debate about 'big M Modernism' vs. modern (current, because Contemporary is its own label) quilting going on). Swedish Modernism seems like something interesting to read about.
DeleteCan I claim Teach Yourself Japanese and Wittgenstein's Poker (along with maybe a random puzzle book)?
ReplyDeleteDone! Email me your address. :)
DeleteHi! I come this way via your link in mission101. If you don't mind shipping to Canada, I'd love to have the french books and maybe Photography: A Practical Guide as well. They'd be helpful in working on a few of my goals, and should be fun too!
