I got a hardcover reading book that has a lock attached to the book, but I didn't receive the key. The lock will open if pried, but if it's pried opened too much it'll eventually break & then it'll just be hanging there. Questions - Is it a RWAP without the key? If not, will it be repostable if the lock does break? |

Wow! Do you mind sharing what book it is? Is it a diary or journal? I am trying to imagine what book would have a lock on it! |

No, it's a reading book. There are a few blank pages throughout for you to write your own story, but we ordered it for the short stories. It's Dragon Adventures. Last Edited on: 11/20/12 12:08 PM ET - Total times edited: 1 |

There is a part inthe rules where it says any book that is supposed to have things with it must have those things included, whether it's a cd, a trinket or whatever, so I would say RWAP. I've had a few used textbooks that were supposed to have cds with them but the cd was missing so I didn't post them. |

The book description does say it comes with a key....I would RWAP. |

Here's what the help docs say:

Hmm. Personally I think the key is required as you shouldn't have to pick the lock open to read the book and it's probably awkward to have it open when not in use. |

The book description DOES say it comes with a key, and if you have to damage the lock to get it open, I'd say it's required. The key is part of that story too (we have it at the library). |

If the non-media is not required to use the book, then the requester should not expect a used book to have it regardless of what the description says (the Team's words not mine). If the book requires the non-media to be used, then the book should not ever be posted without it. Does the book automatically lock everytime it is closed? Was it sent locked? If the book can be used without locking it, then the key is not required and would not be a RWAP.
