INVENTORY >

Status message:
WINTER 2019

I'm still revamping, updating & cleaning out the inventory, so please, be patient with my occasional inaccuracy, delays or losses. In the meantime, take a moment to read this long-full message/presentation.

Thank you! ❤

Books in this inventory are mostly unread, in very good conditions — unless otherwise specified. So, please, always check condition notes, I do try to provide them all with precision.

☆ I have not listed books whose conditions I don't consider worthy of being received or could make me feel uncomfortable to receive as well.

☆ I do not smoke & my hyper-cute black cat =^.^= is neither allowed to enter my study room nor meow in the surroundings. Of course, she's smart, but I'm afraid she doesn't read ;)

NOTE

A very large amount of them is NOT from my own private library.
A good neighbour of mine relocated abroad, and so here it is a sort of huge inheritance I'm not concerned about.
Lately, I still have to unpack all the boxes he left me and list all the books in there. As I safely stored these books at my parents'basement, just give me a little more time to find/get them, and confirm the mooch.

If still in doubt, just ask for any further information [ie: editions, translations, covers, even pics if needed...].

✎ You can write to me in Italian, English, Français & Español.

PLEASE BE KIND!
Leave a message when requesting a book or releasing feedback: no one here is interested in silent swaps or rude mannered people.
THANK YOU is a magic word!

❤ I'm always looking for lit-classics, philosophy & art books, so, if you have any kind of a proposal, don't hesitate to recommend me your list!

NETIQUETTE

GIVE FIRST, THAN RECEIVE.
I tend to keep as much as balanced my mooch-ratio.

I'm willing to keep the original essence of Bookmooch and I sadly have to add that I'm not going to send books any longer to people who are not donating theirs.
I've done it frequently in the past, but now it starts feeling to me just awkward.
In this case, I might consider to retard or even refuse a mooch.

☆ I'm no longer sending any books to all those sneaky individuals who are trying to fool the spirit of this smart reading community with multiple or FAKE accounts and ZERO positive feedbacks either.
Firstly, I tend to ask moderators for the account verification, then I report the abuse.

I must stress that I DO NOT WANT TO DEAL W/ RUDE OR ARROGANT PEOPLE.
NEVER. EVER. AGAIN.

I don't trade these books elsewhere. Nevertheless, I have a bunch of very good books (mostly illustrated) on sale (50% off), if you are keen to check them out, visit comprovendolibri.

I don't swap e-books: there are plenty of directories such as Amazon Kindle free eBooks, Amazon Kindle eBooks gratuiti (Italia) and LiberLiber project that host free e-books and allow you to legally download an incredible amount of great literature. Since I'm a good girl, here you are free 100 legal sites to download more literature. You are welcome!

I do not list or ask for bookcrossed books either: I release them with a journal entry on the BookCrossing site.

NEVERENDING PROMOs
on selected books! Keep your eyes on the condition notes
!

✄ *2X1 & 3x2* offers available on different book series such as a bunch of mystery/crime novels, Newton Compton's, books of recipes and so on...
When you mooch one of those, I will smooch-back the point as soon as you release the feedback.

GIFTs

Few little paperbacks, indicated as FREE in their description, are — guess it! — given away for free. Same game with the smooch-back point.

If you strongly desire a book from this inventory, but you don't have enough points to mooch it, feel free to get in touch, I'll smooch you points needed without asking anything back. I don't really require them right now!
Likewise, you can borrow a couple of points here.

If you wish a book reserved or friends-only labelled, drop me an email and I'll try to arrange it somehow.

FEEDBACKs

Due to not-so-few disappointing experiences, I would like to point out that I will give a neutral +0 feedback whenever the edition stated is different from the one I receive, even if the book is totally fine — that case I'll surely mention it. I know it could seem a little weird, but... yes, it does matter to me.
Sono allergica alle edizioni Mondolibri.

I usually cancel my requests only when I realize the book is not in the edition declared; when the book owner doesn't answer in a long time-lapse, or if I get that feeling there's something fishy going on.

HANDLING & SHIPPING

I'm likely to ship books within a few days after your mooches. I go to the post office once a week, usually on Saturdays. In case I'm particularly busy I'll let you know by acceptance email.

✉ Books gone lost are definitely much less: as you can verify, most of them were sent as 2/3 or even 4-in-1-parcel. At least 4 arrived just after those were marked as 'lost'.

✉ [IT] In Italia spedisco secondo il regime tariffario previsto per l'editoria, il piego di libri ordinario; è prioritario, ma non raccomandato/tracciabile.
Non mi assumo responsabilità per eventuali smarrimenti, comunque molto rari.
Non scambio né consegno libri a mano, mi dispiace!

♻ I do care about the environment, so I often recycle packaging — usually, bubble mailers — when in good conditions! I encourage you to consider doing the same...
♻ GO GREEN! ♻

✈ INT'L ✈✈✈ OVERSEAS

I'm keen to give away my books anywhere worldwide, but please, ask first and allow me to calculate the effective shipping costs before I accept your request.

Since the Italian Postal Service has raised international rates twice as much, and, moreover, the mooch ratio math has suddenly changed, I will have to send out only books weighing up to 250g. in Europe & Mediterranean area —— or 100g. in the Rest of the World. I'm sooo sorry about these restrictions.

Otherwise, you could also consider to ask an Angel. Depending on the situation and circumstances I may offer this kind of help as well; just get in touch with me if you have any concerns.

FRIENDs REQ

I don't intend to seem too rude, but I've arbitrarily decided to add & keep as friends ONLY few, real or close buddies; furthermore, people who have been particularly kind to me. It's not a personal matter, just take it easy! So far so good.

Bio:
I'm quite illiterate, but I read a lot. There's more to life than books, you know. But not much more.

❤ La mia gatta fa quello che io vorrei fare, ma con meno letteratura.
