Elaine had to say...

Hello all! I am one of the Top Swappers on the Top 50 list! I try to mail all book requests the day after they were made. I almost always use electronic DC. There is no smoking in my house, and no pets. (Pets are wonderful--we just don't have any.) All of my hardbounds have dust jackets. Right now I am selling credits, if you are interested. Feel free to ask about deals. I buy books secondhand to put out on PBS--I check books very carefully first, but I do not look at every page. If you find that your book has writing or highlighting in it, contact me and I will refund your credit. I work on a public computer and I mark books mailed immediately because I cannot be sure of getting back into the library to mark them mailed later. I mail all books at the post office. If the weather is very bad they may not be mailed out the day after I get the request as they are usually. I wrap my books securely. You will need scissors to open the package. Please open the package carefully. I send out some ex-library books. If you do not want ex-library books, you should put a Requestor Condition on your account. If you check inside the back cover, the book should be marked withdrawn. Brookline moves out some relatively new library books. At www.brooklinelibrary.org the section on Friends of the Library goes into the details of the money the library makes and what is done with it. Read on! I'm always thinking about all of you! Best regards, Elaine
