Assorted Vintage Book Pages

[amyfaerie]

hi all.

you may know that i'll be moving across the US (Pennsylvania to Oregon) in July 2008.

what you probably don't know is i have a bad habit of buying old books to use in collages. i have over 50 books i tear up!

everything from old dictionaries to old school texts to novels to poems to weird reference books [women and sexuality, mobile home repair & maintenance, electricians manual, etc.].

All of it is in varying degrees of yellowed, aged fabulosity. Some of it is foreign--all of it is wonderful. but, i can't justify shlepping it across the continental US.


I need to pare back & I'd love to share--but I don't have the $$$ to send dozens of envelopes out everywhere.

If you want some, and are in the US, send me a 6x9 or larger inch SASE with at least 97 cents on it, and i'll stuff it with really awesome stuff! A nice variety.

___________________

I figured this out:
If anyone goes to www.usps.com and looks up "international postage," and enters MY zipcode [15106] as the point of shipment, and their own country as where it's being sent, you can see how much $ it will cost to ship how many ounces of book pages. For example, artists in canada can get a little over a pound [18 ounces] of book pages for $5.00 US. And, artists in Australia can request 7 ounces for $6.30 US in postage.

PM me for my address if you're interested! I am TOTALLY willing to do the paypal thing. :D I've already done it for someone, and it worked great!

[In the US, the 97 cents is the actual shipping cost. i'm not asking for payment. also--to be honest--if you want to slap up to 4.85 on an envie, which is the cost of a flat rate letter sent Priority Mail, I'll fill that envelope to the brim!]

Hi, Amy...I'd like to take you up on your 'pound 'o pages' offer! I will pm you shortly~ And thanks!

[LuvLoz]

Oh, and yet another goodie offer I miss out on. I need to either move to the US, and help ATCs really take off in Australia! :)

Me too! :(

[katilady]

Maybe Paypal could be of use in this instance? Sorry for butting in, just trying to help! :)

[Ibus]

I'd happily pay, if someone is prepared to find out how much an envelope to the UK would cost.

[bluehills]

I'd like some, too! I'll probably send you a Priority Mail envelope so I can share the goodies with my local ATC group --- I'll PM for your address.

[HHC]

I'm interested and will pm you.

Where in Washington state are you moving? Anywhere close to Bellingham? :D

We so need to have a big Washington/Oregon meetup after Ms. Amy finishes relocating! There are so many of us nearby...although not many in Eastern Washington...but I love to drive so I would make the commute to the coast somewhere...

This is a great offer, Amy you sweetie...I'll PM you.

i am totally loving that i can share my books . . . i am trying to give everyone a few pages from each of my books when i send larger envies. in dollar envies, i've been still getting pages from about 15-20 different books.

[amyfaerie]

I just got back from picking up my mail and will be scheduling hernia surgery soon because my envelope was so heavy! We're talking pounds people... a great value for my $4.80 Priority stamp! Thank you amyfaerie for the countless creative possibilities that will result from sharing your old books. Now I'm off to sort through my booty. :~]
