Closing 5/1/2009

After 8 very fun years, it's time for Rescued Books to close. I have such mixed emotions, but my goal of helping to save the books from being shredded or thrown away has just about been met. I do have some remaining books but there are so many used book sales as fundraisers in our area that I'm sure they will continue to be reread.

I'm planning to officially remove all the book inventory on May 1 2009, so after May 1st, no one will be able to buy books from the site. I will leave the site and shopping cart operable until then.

Thanks to everyone for your support over the past 8 years. It's been a labor of love for me, and I wish everyone all the best.

Take care,
Janet

RescuedBooks - 5th Birthday - Big Changes

Announcing 5th Birthday and Big Changes for RescuedBooks

In honor of our 5th birthday (how time flies) and in the spirit of the
PaperBackSwap and the Freecycle Network, all the "rescued" library
books on the site will now be free. You will pay only shipping for those.
They will be marked FREE in the price column on the catalog pages.
Over half of the books on the RescuedBooks site are the "rescued"
library books.

All nonlibrary books will remain $1 or $2. Most of the nonlibrary books
are from my personal collection and are in good to excellent condition.

My only request to you is that all books remain intact or in circulation.
The intent is that no book be thrown in the trash or be destroyed. Please
feel free to resell, trade, or give away the books.

To save cost, order history tracking will be phased out so that the library
books can be offered at no charge. When the software license expires in
April, it will not be renewed. Your orders will still be shipped with USPS
delivery confirmation, though, so you will be able to track the status of each order.

Additionally, a 50 cent handling fee will be added to cover packaging costs
so that the library books can be offered at no charge.

Thanks again for making the past 5 years so much fun,
Janet

"Post Your Book Wants" Message Board Problem

I found a slight glitch when reopening the site. The setting for the message board that I use for "Post Your Book Wants" got reset, so all the messages that were posted were lost.

I've kept the message board open, but have changed it to a moderated list (meaning that anyone can post a message, but it must be approved prior to being seen publicly).

I'm debating whether to keep this feature and would appreciate your input by voting to keep the "post your book wants" message board or not.

Thanks for your understanding and input,
Janet
