Books!

I won the item I was bidding on over at the HelpVera site, so I'll be getting a new set of hardbacks signed by the awesome [livejournal.com profile] marthawells! Now it remains for me to decide what to do with the slightly worn set of the Ile-Rien trilogy hardbacks that I have now....hmmmm. I know who I'll offer them to....and she can give hers to....hmmm....(Somewhere down the line, I hope someone who hasn't had a chance to read them before will end up with a set. ;o)

This counts as one of my happy things, doesn't it?

ETA: Looks like I have a taker for my older copies...and they will send their paperbacks to someone else in the joint effort to generate another fan ;o) Yay! Teamwork!

so you sent them to marthawells with return postage for "she" and....

oh, no, now I'm confused....

You get your signed copies from marthawells.

You send your unsigned copies to marthawells, who signs them.

Marthawells sends them, with your prepaid box, to the "she" you were going to send the unsigned copies to.

Then "she" sends Her unsigned copies to marthawells, who signs them and forwards them down the line....

Somehow, I don't think MW signed on for that ;o)
(she probably would, just being nice, but still....) I'll stick with the signed set for selfish me.

Yes, and I meant it to be silly.

[identity profile] yourbob.livejournal.com 2008-12-20 10:49 pm (UTC)(link)
but then...if YOU signed the books you're passing on, and She signed the books she's passing on, and ....

::banging head on desk::

I've got it!!

You could take them to a con and pass them around a big room and get everyone to sign all of them!!
