I borrow from those same friends almost exclusively. Borrowed books always find their way back to their rightful owners as I know how precious they are to them.Carl V.

And then there is my mom who gives me a box or bag of books at a time, half of which I return unread because the books do not interest me.

I've spent approximately $30 in shipping and packaging costs sending out books I owned and I've received 25 books with points for 5 more. That's not a bad return!Bookloggedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00651016653247142255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22616974.post-83367835078042805562007-03-08T13:52:00.000-06:002007-03-08T13:52:00.000-06:00Jeanne - thanks for sourcing the quote!Julia - :) ...Jeanne - thanks for sourcing the quote!<BR/><BR/>Julia - :) I have too many books to keep them all. Many books, even if I really enjoyed them, I know I won't read again because there are too many out there that I haven't gotten around to yet.
