Yeah! Bookmooch! International Shipping: Due to increased postage costs and a limited budget I can only share internationally sometimes and I prefer to offer only hard to find /medical /science and special interest books. Domestic Shipping: I try to mail most books within 2-4 weeks. My books come from library sales, yard sales, used book stores, or wherever I may find them. They are mostly from a non-smoking, pet loving household.
