Status message:
I have found that it is always more expensive to send books out of the USA than it would be to buy the book new. One time it was $11 to send a $4 book, another time it was $17 to send an $12 book.

Because of this, I just can't afford to send books out of the USA anymore. It saddens us to have to do this because I loved looking at the beautiful stamps on incoming books.

Bio:
This is a shared account. We are a mother and daughter often looking for books for the grandchild.

I'm a retired Episcopal priest. A native northern California expat living in SW Minnesota.

The books I'm posting are religious studies and pastoral care.
What books am I looking for? I want to create a basic reference library for two tiny churches so that I can do adult Christian education there. This would include Biblical/historical atlases, concordances, Biblical/historical/theological/ethical dictionaries, etc.

When I was new at the swap process, the other half of this account and I made some mistakes as you can see from the rejected mooch comments. As of 08/2014 we have reviewed and updated our inventory.
