General BookBox rules apply:

Rules Copied from Trekwoman who(adapted from JennyC1230):
* Please journal here (and on the forum posting if you can) when you receive the bookbox and again when you are ready to mail to the next person on the list.
* You may take as many of the books as you like and replace with the same number of books. Second, please make journal entries on the books you choose when you receive them. I know this seems obvious but you'd be surprised at the number of folks who don't do it.
* Please try to keep the bookbox no longer than 2 weeks. If you are having problems please PM me.
* If the box looks like it is wearing out, please feel free to replace the box, please remember to add the BCID number to the box so that we can keep track of it.
* Delivery confirmation would be nice, but not absolutely necessary.
* Media mail (or parcel post) is good to keep cost of mailing down.
* If you see anyone on this list who is a known staller of bookrings please let me know!
* At the end the bookbox will come back to me, so if you are the last on the list, let me know and you can send back to me.
* Enjoy it, folks, and thanks for signing up.
