I am a high school English teacher and am looking for multiple copies of books to make a class set. Books that I would really like to get include: The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nightime - Mark Haddon Friday Night Lights - H.G. Bissinger The Kite Runner - Khaled Hosseini
Things Fall Apart - Chinua Achebe
The Woman Warrior - Maxine Hong Kingston The House of the Scorpion - Nancy Farmer Memoirs of a Geisha - Arthur Golden The Poisonwood Bible - Barbara Kingsolver
Obasan - Joy Kogawa Ishmael - Daniel Quinn Where the Heart Is - Billie Letts The Horse Whisperer - Nicholas Evans Wicked, The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West - Gregory Maguire
If you have copies of any of these books and would be willing to offer them as part of a deal, I would really appreciate it. I'm trying to get these for as few credits as possible, since the credits are being paid for by me, not by the school. Multiple ISBNs are fine, I'm not picky. Thank you.

I'm not worried about them all having the same ISBNs or even that they all be the same type of book. I'm fine with PB or HB, MMPB or Trade Sized...after all, beggars can't be chosers :). Erin |

I just want to say THANK YOU to everyone who has responded. I have to say that PBS members are amazing. I am getting closer to having sets of several of these books, and have complete class sets of two of them (thank you Karen!). You are all so generous, I am truly grateful to have found this website. |

Erin, I have 1 copy of The Kite Runner and 2 identical copies of Where the Heart Is (so only one is on my shelf). If you request one of the books listed, I will include the other 2 for one credit. (I'm a retired teacher so I know what it's like to pay out of your own pocket for supplies.) |

Erin: I sent you a PM, and I will order you 5 or so of the books that you need with my abundant supply of credits---no charge. I sent you a PM and you can let me know your name/address and I will order them to be sent to you. All youu wil havew to do is let me know when they arrive so I can let PBS know and they can give the senders their credits. I had a copy of "KIte Runner" on my shelf and someblody just requested it.

I have a copy of Cold Mountain in great condition. I also have Reading Lolita in Tehran-I really don't know what else you're looking for but I have several books that I believe an English class would be interested. Will do a 2 for 1 or 3 for 1. Let me know. |

Thank you so much to everyone who has replied. I have updated my list to show which books I have successfully acquired 15 copies of. I'm getting pretty close on quite a few of them. If anyone else has copies, I'm still looking. Erin |

Erin, Sonja W. (TEXASWOMAN) has a copy of The Kite Runner and The Horse Whisperer on her shelf. I don't know if she's offering a deal right now, but you may want to contact her. :) I wish I could help you out. I had a lot of these books about 2 weeks ago, but they've been requested. Good luck!! |

Erin, Sadly I only have 1 book you need: The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nightime I want to donate it so please pm me your name/address. I have helped my girl's teachers since I joined and fully understand the need. I am now called the book lady at the school and her teachers know of me before I meet them...LOL She's now in 11th grade so I recognized your titles but her teacher sticks to the classics that I am hunting down... Take Care, Lisa |
