Buy a Book from Gracie....

 

When I mentioned my book issue the other day, I asked for feedback from my readers and would like to thank the many people who wrote with great resources. A few people, however, made an interesting suggestion that since I have such a large following, most of whom are brilliant and avid readers, why not offer the books to you first? So I'm going to do just that. Sadly, some of the 'smarter' books and english resources...I just can't give up right now. I heart them too much. But there's still a large collection to choose from. These are the books that I can bear to part with. Maybe someday I will be able to list the other 400 books that I cherish and can't seem to let go....

I've listed the books available for purchase in a table below. Some have been read (and contain minor usage marks like slightly folded top corners or slight wrinkling on the covers), some have never been read and are in perfect condition, and still others have a ridiculous problem of being hard cover, but missing the cover itself because I'm anal and can't stand reading a book with the crinkly cover making noise and slipping around and getting messed up and then I get forgetful and can't remember where I put the damned thing. I've found most of the missing covers and will continue searching for the rest, but some will just have to be let go without them. Those that are missing a cover are so marked and will have a slightly lesser fee. Also, I've linked each title to their corresponding page on amazon.com so you can read the reviews and make sure it's the book you want. Pay attention to the cover column in the table below rather than the amazon listing for cover type, as many of the books listed on amazon only show paperback, even though I'm offering a hardcover.

As for prices, since these books are in terrific condition, the paperbacks and small books will be $5.00 plus shipping and the regular hard cover books will be $10.00 plus shipping and the really big hard covers (like the Stephen King books) will be $15.00 plus shipping, which will be done at the local UPS Store (by UPS or US Postal service) or at Kinkos FedEx, your choice. I will be happy to group multiple books into one shipment, with the appropriate shipping discount, as calculated through the methods above. No international shipping, sorry. I've linked each shipping method above to its corresponding web page where you can calculate shipping costs. The weight and size dimensions can be found on the amazon.com pages and the originating zip code is 30076. Payment will be done through paypal, to be worked out by us through email. All are on a first email first serve basis. If you prefer something a little more public, let me know and I can put the book on eBay and you can purchase it using the BuyNow feature, though you do run the risk of someone else getting to it first. I'm not going to do any refunds/returns because it's a pain in the ass (unless we do it through eBay, which offers protection). So. If you see a book you want, email me with the title(s) (if more than one...or use the email links in the table below for individual purchases) along with your shipping address and preferred method (UPS, USPS, FEDEX) for shipping. If you are the first person to request that book, I will send you the paypal email address to send payment to. You will have 24 hours (from when I send the email to you) to submit the paypal payment or it will be opened back up to the next person who requested that title. Once payment has cleared, the book will be shipped within 48 hours using the method you chose. If UPS or FedEx, I will send you a tracking number to chart the progress. Each time a book is sold and payment is cleared, I will update this page as quickly as possible, removing it from circulation. I'll use this page for a few weeks, then will sell what's left to a local outlet, so act fast!

Finally, I have a Handspring Visor Palm Pilot that I'd like to sell. I'll be putting it on eBay in the next few days. If you're interested, send me an email and I'll let you know when I'm posting it on eBay so you can get first dibs (I'll add the BuyNow function to make it easier). I used the Palm for a couple of weeks, then got a BlackBerry, so it's been sitting in a closet ever since. It's in perfect condition (though there are some minor scuff marks on the protection cover due to it being in my suitcase of a purse for a couple of weeks). Here is a link to what it looks like, though it's not exact. I'll take a picture of it and will upload and link to it in a day or so. I've spent nearly 7 hours putting together the table below and I'm beat. No mas tonight!

Oh, and I did list one book with Amazon before I realized that there would be 300 people to compete with, most of whom only want a buck or two back on their investments and I'm just not...that cheap or desperate yet (though I may be in the near future!). If you want to purchase my Devil Wears Prada book, you can Go Here.

Just to be clear, where it says "Missing Cover" that means the paper slipcover is missing...not the actual cover of the book.

That outta the way, here's the list:
