Recent Book Activity

Please note: Do not contact me for book trades, or just to ask me for a book. I normally can't afford the postage. If I have a RABCK available and can afford to mail it, I will offer it via the forums. Any PMs asking for books will be ignored.

I have recently had a lot of books stolen from storage. Many of the books on my shelf are no longer in my possession.

I have been getting creative with BC labels. See my efforts at My Photobucket page. If you want any of these, PM me, and I will email you a PDF file. (ETA: Most labels created using public domain clip-art...I'm not that creative...)
