Shalom, bibliophiles! In honor of Banned Books Week and the arrival of fall, I am doing my first Big Book Giveaway. In a nutshell, these are duplicates and such from my personal library; most are in good or very good condition. I am willing to ship books to friends and family (i.e. viewers of my vlog), so here are some guidelines:
1) A viewer must identify the given work (please post in the Comments section) and request it; please identify, at least, the title and, hopefully, the author.
2) Once I see requests, I will respond in the Comments section, identifying that Susie or Waleed has scored the given book.
3) Do NOT post your address in the Comments section.
4) The giveaway lasts through this week, Sunday, 10/7/12, and I will contact viewers of the vlog on Monday or Tuesday of next week; at that time, I will ask that you email me your address, so I can prepare the package.
5) I make NO guarantees about quality of book, marginalia (although I did try to note it if I saw it at first glance), speed of shipping, or availability.
6) Yes, this is first come, first score. Of course, if there was a book that you really wanted, you can ask me (after this week is over) to look in my storage locker, and I will see if I have another copy (several of these are triplicates, in fact).
7) No bad or negative vibes in the Comments section for the vlog (I will not respond to those who post on YouTube; YouTube, in my experience, is full of trolls, and this vlog is for my family and friends). Seriously, dudes and dudettes, this is supposed to be fun, so I won't put up with funny business.
Let's see what's happening:
Well, let's see how things unfold! I hope everyone has fun and finds something he or she might enjoy.
Cheers,
LBF (aka Noah B. Uddy, among other names)
P.S. I decided that there needed to be a cap, for any given person, of 20 books or 15 pounds of books, just so I can spread the wealth;-P Don't worry if you can't get all you want, for there will be other giveaways, if I live that long:-)
Great vlog entry! Nice selection of books, too.

Thank you! I look forward to seeing your literature selection.

Thanks for the kind words, friend. I enjoy doing the book updates. Some day, once I have my own house, I will do reviews of my collection, for I'd love to sit down at the camera and just chat about my books about American labor history or Japanese religion (or just spend 10 minutes showing off and discussing the art of Neal Adams, comic book artist, that I have). Some day...
