News: Newsletter – October 2008

Sunday, October 5th, 2008

Gift notes:  We have added this feature to the process of requesting a book to be sent to an alternate address.  When you fill in the name and address on the Book Request page, there is a space to put a simple note.  A note or greeting is allowed by USPS Media Mail guidelines – it can’t be a letter though.  Senders, be sure to use the second page of the wrapper so the note is received by the person who gets the book.

In Memoriam. We know how many of you loved Lester (ThreeCats).  He added so much to the community here with his wisdom and kindness.  Lester passed on, and broke all of our hearts a little.  We send our deepest condolences to his family, and we thank them for sharing such a wonderful person with us.   You can read some of Lester’s writings, and don’t miss his book reviews!  Lester, PBS will never forget you.

Now that  we’re really into springtime, it’s finally stopped raining,  and the weather is fine.  If you’re like us, you’ll want to be outside more.  And if you’re like us, you’ll want to take your books along with you!  Keep them safe with our newest addition to the PBS Kiosk, the Cloth Bookcovers. The only size we’re stocking right now is the size for mass-market (small) paperbacks, but we do plan to get more sizes soon.   They’re attractive, easy on the hands, and protect your book while you’re toting it around.   They make great gifts!   Check them out in the Kiosk, along with the new pens and the new vinyl stickers that let you proclaim your membership in the best bookswapping club online!

Cloth Bookcover patterns available:

(Morning Glories, Stargazer, Book Lover, Bon Voyage, Roses, Stained-glass Angels, Wine World)

PBS Store: Newsletter – December 2007

We now have the LightWedges in hardcover size; these are really cool!  We have also added Shadow Suede Purple as a color for the BookMate II–it was a very popular choice for BookMate I.   Remember that you can custom-order your color if it is not one of our stock colors or patterns for the size BookMate you want–just put in the order for “custom color” and send us an email at librarian@paperbackswap.com, and give us some extra time (approximately 3 weeks) to fill the order from our supplier.   You wouldn’t be able to get a custom color BookMate by this Christmas, but we have plenty of patterns and colors to choose from in stock, in both sizes.  We are still looking for new items for the Store, which is a very labor-intensive process: the quality has to be high and the price low.  And we have to like it.  Nothing gets into the Store unless it is PBS-approved.  So keep your eye on the Store (in the PBS Kiosk) to see what we come up with.

PBS Store News: Newsletter – November 2007

Sunday, November 4th, 2007

We have added more Bookmate I colors and patterns to the Kiosk.  Check them out below: Aztec, Fusion Stripe,Crystal Sunset, Onyx Marble, Burgundy.  We will also be getting in the larger-size LightWedges soon. These have been really popular!   We are in the process of selecting more items for the PBS Store–PBS stuff makes great presents for booklovers.   We search very carefully for good-quality, great-value items, so it takes time to add new things.  But we have some in the pipeline, so watch that space!
