Thoroughly Obsessed Posts: 1,696 Group: Members Member #3,920 Joined: August 10, 2008	I want to rant a little. I have a book that I want from PBS.com. In my requestor conditions it says that a customs form has to be filled out because I live overseas with the US military (you can do this online with online postage). I have had two people say that "They can't bother with filling one out" and then when I try to have the book sent to my parents, so they can send it to me--PBS says that I can't get it because the book doesn't meet my conditions! They both have the only copy available, it is just sitting there. :angry:

Only thing I can think of. What book is it, supertalya?

I basically only buy credits to get books that I or my husband want and hardly ever send any books out. I usually buy them from PBS directly, but I'd be happy to give the money to a BOer instead.

Always needs a nap Posts: 1,290 Group: Members Member #36 Joined: December 23, 2005	Hi everyone! http://candieb.paperbackswap.com I've just done a big clean of my bookshelves... 1 credit for 3 or 4 books for my BO friends PM me there since the PM system here is all screwy.

Florida Gator For Life -CHOMP- Posts: 1,344 Group: Members Member #200 Joined: January 28, 2007	I just joined PBS about a month ago [same name: SimplyCee] and I got a request for a book. Yay! My question to you guys is should I use BookMooch instead? For the most part, I'm only listing books that I've tried using here at BO but no one seemed interested in. Suggestions? Thoughts?

BM) I actually like PaperBackSwap better but I know others feel the opposite. Since I tend to run out of credits more quickly on PBS, I'll generally offer something there first, and then put it on BM too only if it isn't on any wishlists out on PBS. But otherwise, go ahead and list them both places. Just remember to remove it from the other when it's requested.

"Yes sir, may I have another?" Posts: 12,845 Group: Admin Member #20 Joined: December 23, 2005	I just added 33 books to my shelf over there. I have a load I'm going to take to the Friends of the Library also that aren't in good enough shape for PBS or BookMooch.

Exceptionally Obsessed Posts: 7,300 Group: Members Member #19 Joined: December 23, 2005	I was about to post a book on PBS when I read this, which is different than it used to be: "I promise to follow the Golden Book Rule: My books have front and back covers, all pages, no liquid damage, no writing or highlighting, are not Advanced Reader Copies (ARCs), an...d my books are in generally good condition." - does that mean we can't use bookcrossing labeled books on PBS anymore? Has anyone had trouble?
