Hello there lovely swappers!

So i thought it would be a wonderful idea to swap a book. An old paperback is fine as long as there are no pages missing, spine intact and fairly decent condition. Basically don't send something you wouldn't purchase for yourself. On that note it can be a brand new paperback or a pre-loved one it is sender's choice.

The theme though is this. Send a book that relates to the classics! Oldies but goodies :) eg but not limited to-

-Wuthering Heights

-The Little Prince

-Sherlock Holmes

-Of Mice and Men

-Castle of Ontranto

-Phantom of the Opera

-Dracula

-Oscar Wilde

-Edgar Allen Poe etc...

To make it easier for your partner feel free to write in the comments your wish list so your not doubled up. But if your partner cannot find the book on your wish list don't be upset about it. Some books are/are not easy to find. Or don't write anything if you want a surprise.. up to you!

Now in the book your sending write a small note on the inside of the cover to your partner so they'll always know who its from and that it came from half way around the world just to be with them :) Keep it brief but you could also include your favorite quote!

Now for the bookmark.. Hand made or store brought is fine. No freebies this time unless you want to add it in as an extra.. then its more than welcome! Try keep to the theme of the classics/book related or vintage. If not check your partners profile! Lets keep the love of books and reading alive in a world where technology and Kmart/ Target stores are taking over! Support your local independent bookseller people! :)

I will angle if necessary after you rate your partner a 1 however i hope we all can make this an enjoyable swap for all and be honest with our sending.

I will be checking ALL profiles before partners are assigned and ban whoever i feel is questionable. No recent unexplained 1's or 3's.

Newbies are welcome with a well filled profile. Come on guys we were all new once everyone deserves a chance!

Look out for my other upcoming swaps! Any questions please feel free to ask! Happy swapping!

I'd like anything by Edgar Allen Poe, Alice in Wonderland, Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, On the Road and Madam Bovary. If not i'm happy with any of the classics :)

I would love alice in wonderland, edgar allen poe, pride and prejudice or sherlock holmes but I am sure I will love whatever my partner sends :-)

Thank you for creating a swap us "newbies" can be a part of! I would love a book that the person sending loves, and maybe the reason why on the inside cover. :)

I would like Dorian Gray, The Iliad and Odyssey or any of the other's besides Jane Austen and Dracula, because I have them already; if possible that is. =)
