You asked for it, and we delivered! While all of our members are book readers, many of you have audio books on hand as well. We’ve now incorporated this medium into our club trading system. It takes two credits to order an audio book, and for every audio book requested from you, you’ll receive 2 credits. Most audio books will mail similar to paperbacks. However, because we are not privy to all packaging scenarios, members may need to confirm postage at the USPS. Thanks to our members for offering new ideas for improving the service of the club and please keep the suggestions coming. Happy listening to all you audio book lovers!

Shipment Details Box: Newsletter – May 2005
Wednesday, May 4th, 2005As a way to help members keep track of when books are coming and going, we have created a Shipment Details Box for all requests on the member’s home page. This box provides information that tells when books have been requested, accepted and mailed as well as its anticipated arrival date.
In order for this Details Box to be accurate, once a book request is accepted, the sender must indicate if they have mailed the book. Sometimes members accept a request, print the wrapper and mail the book but fail to indicate when they have mailed the book. Please help us provide everyone with up-to-date information on their requests and let us know when you mail a book. Thank you in advance for helping to manage expectations for requesting members.

Look for the “Saved Search” icon near the top of each results page, and try this time-saving feature.
