For INTERNATIONAL moochers, kindly read this thoroughly first. If you accept the book/s' conditions & understand and accept my budgetary constraint & waiting is not a problem/issue with you (as I will be sending through surface/seamail, which takes 2-3 months, sometimes 4-5 months--maximum wait of an international mooch is 6 months--but sometimes, if we're lucky, it only takes a week or two), YOU'RE VERY MUCH WELCOME to mooch anytime.=)

I'd gladly send book/s to you as soon as I have the extra funds (through the help of PATTI, a very kind, helpful & accommodating BM Angel). I regularly update my moochers with emails/photos of the book or any thing needed to be shared to them. So I also expect, as a sign of respect, for any moocher to acknowledge emails/updates. Kindly reply even with a very, very short note. I readily correct my wrong mooches & I get in touch with the Bookmooch members I might have caused with inconvenience. We all want to be treated rightly so kindly be nice, courteous & respectful of others' situation and personalities. Thank you very much!=)

I try to update all of the books' conditions. Almost all books were bought at second-hand book sales so please expect wear & tear. They're all still in good reading condition unless otherwise stated in the condition status (some are in very good condition).

Please feel free to ask me anything about its state if ever you fancy one or two from my inventory. If you want to be sure of the book/s' condition, I'll readily email you photos of them.;D

Multiple mooches are preferred to offset postage costs. But we can make arrangements if you only want one book.;D

To my books' moochers, TRICCIE, MOLLYDOG (USA), HERMES (USA), DORIT (Israel), ART SEBLIS, GILL & MARK TENNANT (UK), NICKY (UK), MEREDITH (USA), SPINIFEX (France), LISA BALFOUR (UK), TAMMIE (Australia), ALLIE (UK) & REBECCA H.(USA), kindly bear with me for the delay in sending the books. Thanks a lot!=)

Bio:
I'm a thirty-something book lover & hoarder.

My father used to scold me during my childhood years whenever I read at night under the covers, holding a flashlight, being content with its glare, hiding from him, cause he wants the lights off after 10:00. He said I will ruin my eyesight. I didn't believe him. I thought he was just tricking me so I would put off the lights.

Now I have my eyeglasses to help me read tiny fonts. =(

I guess he was telling the truth. ;D

I love old stuff so I'm always thrilled to chance upon old releases/publications.

Nobody is a smoker here in our house & we don't have pets. Only a few nieces & nephews who visit, making use of my stuff as their sketch pads sometimes. =(

I'm glad to have met friends online who also adore books. I'm enjoying my stay here.=)

Looking forward to meet more friends & take pleasure in more Bookmooching days ahead. ;)
