I am starting this thread in Amanda's absence. You are always welcome to ask me questions, but Amanda should be your first go to for this thread. We’ve been given permission by the Team to have a recurring thread for sending out WL books in bundles. Please read ALL the rules and updates so you can be sure you are complying with the guidelines layed out by the Team. READ AND FOLLOW THESE RULES BEFORE POSTING IN THIS THREAD (One of us will PM you if we see that you're not following the rules): ~ This will be a monthly thread (meaning a new thread will be started at the beginning of each month). Any books you have remaining from the month before that you still want to offer will be YOUR responsibility to transfer to the new thread. There is to only be ONE Wishlist Mutliples thread (this one) so that we can be assured people are following the rules. (4-27-11) Please do not create your own thread advertising WL Multiples and let Melanie, Kathy or me (Amanda) know if you see one of these before we do. :) ~ If you have questions about this thread, please contact me (Amanda). If you don’t get an answer from Amanda within 24 hours, please contact Kathy W. (Nellie) and Melanie D. (melanied) ("co-helpers" with this thread). None of us (Kathy, Melanie, or I (Amanda)) are responsible for how transactions turn out. Please do things fairly and with honesty so that this thread will not be shut down. NO ARC's may be offered here. There is a separate thread for these books here. If you have an ARC that is WL'd and is part of a series you have offered here in this thread, you can PM the person requesting them and let them know you have the ARC available and you two can work out the deal. If you offer one in your post, one of us will PM you asking you to remove it and list it in the ARC thread. NO DAMAGED books are allowed to be listed in this thread. (7-1-11) ***** For the Sender ~ The goal is to send multiple books to the same home so you can save on shipping...this is NOT intended to bypass the FIFO system. You may combine your books listed here with books from your shelf to create your "multiples" package. However, you are NOT allowed to place requirements on your book orders in any other way than to state the obvious ("wanting to send out packages of 2 or more" or "orders of 3 or more only please"). It is NOT okay to require orders from your Bookshelf in conjunction to ordering these WL'd books. (It's about requiring it, rather than providing that as an option.) So long as you're sending out multiples, this thread is serving its purpose. ~ List what you have available. When some of your books are taken, come to your post and remove those choices. Don't just list them as "taken"...actually delete the text for that item. When all of your books are taken, come to your post and delete ALL remaining information. If you have more to offer later, you can edit that post OR you can create a new post. **PLEASE** keep your posts updated and current...if people ask you for a book that is no longer available it will be wasted time for you and frustrating for them. ~ You may not ask more than the standard “1 credit for 1 book” in your post. ~All books listed in this thread must be listed in a post. Meaning, you are not allowed to just link to a PBS list or Tagged List. ALL books listed MUST have an accompanying ISBN OR link to PBS to verify WL status (links to PBS are always helpful, since they will immediately tell a person when they look at it if that ISBN is on their WL). If you need help inserting links please ask us-we are happy to assist! (9-18-10)
~Please add the number of wishers to each item on your list. (This part is not mandatory, but will certainly help your books move if you can do this and helps the other members when looking through your list.) ~ DO NOT list books that have "0 Wishers" for it. ~DO NOT list only ONE book in this thread…this thread is for multiples. ~ If you have a complete SET of books or several books in a series, and some are WL'd and some aren't, you can offer all of these here and offer a deal on them if you wish. It is perfectly understandable that you'd want to keep the set together! The only thing we ask is that a minimum of 2 books out of the series you are posting be WL'd. And remember, none of them can be damaged and must all meet PBS Posting Criteria. ~ This thread does NOT give the go ahead to being requiring a "minimum order" on your normal PBS account. If you have a book posted, you are agreeing to send out that book when it is requested. This thread (where we have people asking for a 2 or 3 book order minimum) is okay ONLY because it is in the Book Bazaar!! This type of requirement is NOT okay within the general PBS bookshelves and orders. ~ Books MUST meet PBS guidelines in order to be listed there for credit. NO DAMAGED books are allowed to be listed. ~ If someone asks you to only send one book, please know that you are not obligated to accept this request. If you, as the sender, would like to keep the package as a multiple, you have the right to decline this request (nicely!). (Please do not ignore a PM asking for this, though....a simply "no, but thanks" in a reply PM is all that is needed.) ~One tip (but not required!): several people still have dial-up, which makes viewing threads with images a very slow process. It would be nice (for those members) if you didn't put images in your posts when you're listing your books. Just having a link and the number of wishers makes it easier for these members. If you are putting images, you may be losing orders and/or causing lost orders for other members in this thread. Link Your Post for Updates Each month just create one post and keep it updated. When you do update your post, link to it and post a reply to the thread stating you’ve updated your original post. To do this, follow these instructions:
For the Requestor ~ Please be aware that if you have Requestor Conditions on your account, you and the person offering the deal need to work that out *before* the book is posted to your Wish List, so that you can remove your RC's if needed!! If the book is declined due to RC's, it is then passed on to the next person in line for that WL book through the FIFO system...thus making that book no longer eligible for a "multiples" deal. ~ Be sure that in your Settings (under Privacy Controls) you click to allow your Wish List to be public. This will allow the person who is listing these books to be able to post books directly to your Wishlist. If you don't do this, it will make it harder for people to do things with you. ~You are allowed to ask (nicely!) if the person offering the books is willing to just send out 1 book (instead of multiples). But the sender has the right to decline this request. |

Growing Girls
Though Maralys Wills' odyssey begins at Stanford University, it ends six children and three grandchildren later with the realization that a family is like an ever-moving river, sometimes flowing serenely, at times boiling over obstacles, yet never quite diverted, even by tragedy.
From mom-and-pop general stores to big-box, strip-mall chains, it is impossible to consider the American experience without thinking about the buying-and-selling retail culture: the sales and the stockrooms, the shift managers, and the clock punchers. The Customer Is Always Wrong is a tragicomic...

Allen and Suzanne were seasoned travelers, and when Russia's Baltic states opened up for visitors in 1993, they eagerly embarked on a trip there. What they couldn't foresee were the record-breaking storms, desolate landscapes, and most significant, the cracks in their relationship that the trip... The Bill from My Father : A Memoir by Bernard Cooper Bernard Cooper's new memoir is searing, soulful, and filled with uncommon psychological nuance and laugh-out-loud humor. Like Tobias Wolff's This Boy's Life, Cooper's account of growing up and coming to terms with a bewildering father is a triumph of contemporary autobiography.Edward Cooper is a... My Journey with Farrah : A Story of Life, Love, and Friendship (Larger Print) by Alan... Alana Stewart and Farrah Fawcett went through it all together. Friends for thirty years, they were an essential part of each other's lives since first meeting at a dinner party in the 1970s. During that time, they supported each other through the trials of Hollywood life while also raising... The Guinea Pig Diaries: My Life as an Experiment by A. J. Jacobs A.J. explores the big issues of our time -- happiness, dating, morality, marriage -- by immersing himself in eye-opening situations. In his role as human guinea pig, Jacobs fearlessly takes on a series of life-altering challenges that provides readers with equal parts insight and humor.

Smith's memoir is a must-read for anyone who views drugs as glamorous--her descriptions of bad trips are very vivid and frightening, and the effort she made to turn her life around is admirable.

The Hunger A Story of Food Desire and Ambition
A page-turning memoir from the chef of The Waverly Inn, New York City's vaunted celebrity gathering spot. — The Hunger is an insider's romp through the crazy life of the restaurant business, told by a journeyman chef who fought his way to the top. Trapped in a dead-end job, John DeLucie called it quits and invested his meager savings in a ten-week cooking class. Upon completion, armed with no professional experience and the barest of basic skills, he walked into the renowned gourmet shop Dean & DeLuca and asked for a job. The next day he found himself chopping forty pounds of onions in the prep-kitchen basement. A glamorous new chapter had begun. DeLucie worked his way up the bumpy NYC food chain, from executive chef at La Bottega to Nick & Toni's in East Hampton, eventually finding his way to The Waverly Inn, which he opened with publishing magnate Graydon Carter and several partners. It was here that John married his mastery of simple but unique flavors with Carter's A+ list of glitterati to create downtown's hottest eatery.

I don't think I've looked at so many naked chests as I have looking at all those lists One thing I noticed while checking WL counts is a lot of books with no descriptions. When you have time, grab those books and submit a data edit for a description of the story. This will help tremendously to move your books. Book covers also help for those offering some of the more obscure and rare books that are showing blue covers. Search the web, or if you have a good scanner and software for cropping do it yourself and get an image on that book! |

Good evening everyone.... First, let me apologize for not being here to start the new thread. I have had company for over a week and we also put over 40 GALLONS of paint on our basement in the last 6 days.... Needless to say we are exhausted and very sore! The painting was supposed to be done by Wednesday and I had planned on doing the new thread on Thursday or Friday.....that just didn't happen because we were still painting at 7 on Saturday night. :-( My thanks to Mel for starting the new thread....life happens. I have an alarm set on my phone to remind me to start the new thread....that alarm went off while I was up on a ladder painting! Second, I have read through all of the comments on the former thread regarding the strike through/deleting content stuff... I get it. I really do. :-) We certainly never mean to "police" you guys....we simply want the thread to run smoothly and with few complaints. The rules we do have in place may seem like a ton but they were all formed slowly over time as we saw needs arising in order to keep things running as above-board as possible. And, nearly every rule has the Team's backing...so if they didn't see the need for it, we wouldn't have put them in. (***I just looked....did you all realize that these threads date back to February of 2009!?!?! That's nearly 3 years! Wow...***) The idea for deleting the items that are taken (as opposed to just strikethrough) came as a result (like Melanie stated) of PM's that were coming to me with a couple of people stating that they got frustrated with the way it was. Either they would search for an author/title and get excited, only to have their hopes dashed when they saw it was marked as taken...OR people on dial-up have to wait longer to see things load that aren't even available. I simply thought the idea of deleting the items when they were no longer available would be the easiest course of action. I completely understand some of the reasons you all have stated as to why you leave them with strike through, at least for a few days. There are good thoughts on both sides of the argument...and I certainly don't want it to be an arguement! Personally, I greatly appreciate the manner in which you all handled it in last month's thread...simply stating your opinions and not really getting angry or starting a riot over it all. So thanks for that! It's great to hear all sides of the story....I hadn't thought of the idea of leaving things so people can see what kinds of books are posted here. :) Let's do things this way and see how it works.... Please use strike-through and/or pending (preferrably "pending") when books are awaiting the final decision by another member. Then completely remove all text for items taken after they have been gone a few days so that other members who are the ones who do searches and such won't be disappointed. We won't "pounce" on you with a PM for not doing this right away, but I think if we all make an extra effort to keep things looking tidy this thread will continue to be the great thing it always has been. This is basically the way the rules on the first page are already stated, but this is a bit more information and reworded slightly.
Again, my apologies for not getting the new thread up on time...and my thanks for you all bearing with me as we work through the decluttering process. |

One thing I noticed while checking WL counts is a lot of books with no descriptions. When you have time, grab those books and submit a data edit for a description of the story. This will help tremendously to move your books. Book covers also help for those offering some of the more obscure and rare books that are showing blue covers. Search the web, or if you have a good scanner and software for cropping do it yourself and get an image on that book! Wish I could *LIKE* this! LOL! |
