Defending Jacob - William Landay - 9780385344227 (392 wishers)

The first 50 pages have wavy marks on the side (as if someone read with a wet thumb) and to the top.  The next 100 pages have a wavy pages at the top and top side.  Pages do not stick nor do these imperfections mess with the readability of the book. Grease spot on back cover but the dust jacket covers that ;)

One credit.  PM me.

Only a small portion of the surface of the cover of this book  is torn, as if it had a sticker around the spine and someone tore it off roughly. The rules say no torn covers so I guess it is now an unpostable:

Murder in the Rue Dumas(Verlaque and Bonnet Provencal) :: M. L. Longworth

I also have a growing list of wishlisted unpostable mysteries  on my profile page. Always willing to do deals on them. Thanks!

As of 07/09/13, there are 51 members who have this book WLed.

David Allen's Ready for Anything: 52 Productivity Principles for Work and Play

This book has

a) 4 lines mostly underlined on the very first page, with 9 words written in the blank space after the chapter title

b) 2 words circled on the second page

c) 9 words underlined in the bio of the author, which, for whatever reason, is printed on a page before the Title page, instead of the end as is usual

NO other markings in the book that would make it unpostable. I say this as a name is written directly inside the front cover and this does not make it unpostable according to PBS rules.

Asking 1 credit

Gone Girl - GIllian Flynn - isbn13 9780307588364 -harcover w/dust jacket- 1477 wishers

Page 239 has obvious page wrinkles due to something wet - maybe someone placed a not-so-dry hand on the page while reading?  Affects page 238 with a little wrinkling and all the way from pages 240 to 243.  Doesn't affect the readability of the book.  

Asking 1 credit.  PM if interested!

This is on 1 person's wish list. I do not know how to find out who it is to see if they want the book for free with any other book requested from my shelf or not, so I guess I list it here. If I am in the wrong place, please redirect me.

 

A Taste of the Nightlife - A Vampire Chef Mystery Series - Book1  is Free to the first person to request it with any other book requested from my shelf.

 

This book I consider unpostable because it has pages that appear to be wavy. I don't think it was wet, but what do I know. It came to me this way, but it looks more like it was stored in such a way that pressure was applied causing the wave, but again - I have no idea. There are no stains, or marks, and it is not torn. If you have any questions, feel free to drop me a message and I will get back with you as quickly as possible.  

Thank you and best wishes!!

I have a paperback copy of Why We Love the Church by Kevin DeYoung and Ted Kluck.  The book appears to have been around a humid environment and the pages are wavy.  Otherwise postable.  Will trade for a credit.  Thanks for looking!
