Giveaway List - Updated 10/03/12

*** New update - instead of reposting the whole list, I will just update the title and strike through the books that have been taken. (like this)

I plan on leaving the list up for about another week, so request your book soon if you see one you like!


Please note that most of these books are older and have a little shelf wear. Some may have frayed edges or dog-eared pages. Many have writing and highlighting in them.  DISCLAIMER - I have not read some of these books, so I cannot say that by giving them away I am approving of all their content.

In the following list, the ones with an asterisk (*) are hardcover; all others are paperback/softcover. The last 5 books in the list are small booklets/gift books.
