Increased mare care has led to an increase in barn books. These poor codexes (codexi?) have been taken to the barn and have suffered as paper naturally suffers in a barn environment. Condition ranges from almost okay to beyond sad. Some got read. Some are awful and I stopped. Either way, they are looking for new homes. I don’t dare give/send even the nice ones to folks who might get upset if horsehair or a piece of hay were to fall out. Full explanation here [Barn Books].
Last time, one person stepped up. She has been getting irregular shipments of dusty books ever since. Now, I’m giving the rest of you a chance to get in on the action.
Any takers?
Worn corners. “B’ written on the flyleaf to indicate a barn book.

More dusty and jumbled than damaged. I wish I could say that my barn was tidy and everything was in its place. Used to be. Now, not so much.

Dusty, bent & warped.
But free!
Update: Shame on me for not thinking globally. Yes, this offer is limited to US addresses. Anything international – even a US neighbor – is crazy expensive, USPS: Postage Price Calculator.
Over here in expat-land we have boxes and boxes of books that circulate from house to house. I must have fifty books here waiting to be read – some of them are utter crap and I will probably pass on unread. Anyway this is my long winded way of saying No Thanks. Shipping them over here would definitely be a waste of $$$!
Also true of folks on Haynet. Tsk, tsk.
I’ll take any book anywhere any condition – do you want postage?
Nah. Are you sure? Some of these have been at the barn for a while. I’ll try to wipe them down, but …
if they smell like a barn, so much the better, LOL

I’m glad someone wants to share the wealth!! i do enjoy my shipments but it’s good to share 🙂
