Status message:
Most of my books were bought new and read only by myself and a good deal of them have a different cover than shown on bookmooch. If a specific cover is desired, e-mail me to find out exactly which one I have. I have the habit of dog-earing my pages to hold my place, but I try and make sure to unbend them before they're shipped. Speaking of dog ears, I have a couple of canines near my books, in case of allergies.

Requests are sent out as soon as my work schedule allows me to get to the post office before it closes. Expect no more than a week and a half before shipping with 2 or 3 days the average.

International requests are on a case-by-case. Usually there is enough time between them that there is no problem. Multiple books to one address, returning the favor, and trying for more rare books will increase the likelihood of acceptance. I really appreciate when overseas members have honored my requests and try my best to include the international community.

For shipping, 9 out of 10 times I use a store called U.S. Parcel Shipping. They package the books in envelopes with bubble wrap embedded in the paper. This seems to protect the books adequately. I also send them via media mail, unless there is a cheaper method. If there are any concerns about my shipping methods, please let me know and I will be happy to explore other methods to ensure your requests are fulfilled in a speedy and secure way.

Bio:
At the moment, I am not sending anymore international requests for which I apologize. For some reason, I've gotten almost a dozen international requests in the past week and I can't afford them all. If there's a paperback book that you really want and can't find anywhere else, I might be able to send a light one. In a couple weeks I'll probably revise this policy. Thanks.

From August onwards, I'll be at school and less able to send books out. I still will the few times I visit home, but be forewarned that there will be a wait.
