Status message:
Of the 900+ books I have sent, more than 40% of them were sent to other countries. I've had to set myself to ask first for the time being, however, to save some money. I will send lightweight paperbacks overseas, but for now I will have to refrain from sending heavy books outside the U.S. Thank you for your understanding.

In general, if you don't see condition notes, that means the book is just fine with little more than shelf wear. However, if you receive a book from me that has some damage that was not mentioned in the condition notes, please let me know. I do try to note any problems, but I am human and could miss something. I am happy to work with you to rectify the situation. I've only had this happen once with more than 900 books sent, but it never hurts to remind people. I can't do anything about the problem if I don't know about it.

All my books come from a non-smoking home. I prefer that all books I mooch also come from a non-smoking environment. I love to travel and I am always interested in recent travel books. Thank you so much.
