Books For Sale, Cheap!
I need to get rid of a ton of books. I have mailed out about 70 books through various books swap sites, but I still need to clear more space. So to keep it simple, if you are interested in any of the books listed here:
Send money via Paypal to mirka@chuckpalahniuk.net. Put the name of the book in the title if possible. In the body of the payment is a place to put a note for me and that works too.
US and Canada: Trade paperbacks are $5. Shipping included.
US: Hardcovers: $8. Shipping included.
Canada Hardcovers are $12. Shipping included.
Europe and Asia: Trade Paperbacks: $8 Shipping included.
Europe and Asia: Hardcover: $15 (Sorry, it's really expensive to ship to Europe and Asia these days. I sent a copy of The Club Dumas (a paperback!) to The The Philippines and it cost me $10.10!

Thanks!

odd, that i just now stumbled upon this link
ive spent the last few hours picking through my bookshelves. ive thought about selling them but didnt think to start a spot here. ive plucked out a little over a hundred and im sure tomorrow ill refine the filter a bit more and try to squeeze out another fifty..
only thing is, with that many, amazon and eBay just seem far too tedious and i'll want to get something back for them.. maybe i will start one and two dollar bins in this forum next week or so. with your permission, if that's cool.

I know exactly what you mean. Ebay and Amazon are just to tedious. I kust want the books out of my house and hopefully in good homes. :)
You don't need permission to post a a couple of threads selling your books here! :) I look forward to seeing what you are winnowing. You have pretty damn good taste in books. You might even want to get started now. 100 books is a lot. I posted about 30 and it felt like it took forever.
with Cheap! in the title i thought there were going to be mad magazines! I got excited.
I only have one Mad Magazine book, and it's the one you gave me so I would never part with it. Unless you missed it and wanted it back.
[font=tahoma]yeah, i will never get rid of any book i have received from any cultist. they stay with me until death. but as for the rest.. some just can't stay. i have easily a thousand books in my library and the ones i havent opened in forever need to go away forever\

it'll be after superbowl sunday. a friend called me a few weeks ago and said he was calling all of his friends who could care less about the superbowl to come and hang out for the superbowl. actually, he said, Those who care about the superbown as much as we do. we dont care. jen several months ago was all like, I hope the saints make it to the superbowl this year, and i was like, You know, I'm a fan too, but i dont believe in ufo sitings and ghosts and whatnot. yeah, they didnt make it so we could care about as much as brian and jenny care about the game, but it's a great excuse to prep food and share time. i'll get to my own list after that. as for your list, i have several of the same titles, several of the same going out the door. mostly because jen has given me an ultimatum. we're discarding several of the the bookshelves and crafting wall shelving in one of the rooms. what doesnt fit goes. some of the books are really good books, but i dont spend time with them anymore. just like several of your titles, great reads and i spent time with several of them myself, but not in a long l o n g time
and i'm done hijacking your thread
good luck, and let me know when you have an extra arc of snuff
