Well, let's see...I have 185 items on my wish list at Amazon.com, you can just print that out and take it with you...Just kidding!

I've been meaning to read "Wild Fruits", just haven't had the time yet. Have you considered buying up several books and then reselling them on Amazon.com? I've sold a couple there so far and it's really easy. They do take a cut of the selling price, but they also give you some money toward shipping so it's not too bad a deal. They handle all the billing and direct deposit the money into your checking account.

Wow, generous offer teri!! I also have a huge wish list and will have to get serious about it before the next sale. I saw on the other thread you were going to the Toronto fair....I am jealous. I went many years ago as a chaprone for a 4-H field trip and it was wonderful. We also got to see a jump meet of several olympic jumping teams. Well, off to find my book list. :>)

I might have taken you up on your offer, but my wife has given friendly warnings about bringing books into our household; Bring something in, take something out. I don't blame her; I LOVE BOOKS!
