I received my Moochstand materials about a week ago. Much excitement!

So far I have displays in the works canteen, my daughter’s ballet school and I’m goign to devote half a table at a Car Bootsale I’m attending in Kinross (Perthshire, Scotland) this coming Saturday.

I REALLY appreciate the thought and effort which went into putting these materials together – so many people have said to me how professional the materials look compared to promotional material from other sites.

Photos to follow!!

My daughter (another ardent bookmoocher) got married last weekend. I handed out Bookmooch cards to many of the guests at the reception.

I requested a book and was told that I had been sent an email that it was on it’s way and I can’t find any email.

Nope, Suz, actually “media mail” is what *used* to be called “book rate” years ago. They changed the name and now it is for sending books, magazines, CDs, tapes, and videotapes, but not letters.

From the USPS web site:

> Media Mail® service is a cost efficient way to mail books, sound recordings, recorded video tapes, printed music, and recorded computer-readable media (such as CDs, DVDs, and diskettes). Media Mail can not contain advertising except for incidental announcements of books. The maximum weight for Media Mail is 70 lbs.

I wanted to mention, and not sure this is the right location for this info….i am new to this group and truly love it!! I have noticed all the books shipped to me are sent “media” rate. This is the wrong postage charge and costs more than the book rate that is called “library”. Just tell your your postmaster. Media is for music, cd and audio type things only good luck.

Could anyone mooch some BM cards in Portuguese? I live in Portugal and I would like to hand out some cards around.
I am also thinking of getting a stand in the next fair in the local town where I live to promote BookMooch.com, so the cards in Portuguese would be of great help!
Thank you in advance!

I always stick the BM cards in my packages I mail out when I sell stuff on etsy.
And I keep a stack in my bag at all times to drop off at little cafes etc.

Fiona, you can mooch cards from me and from other BM members. Just type BookMooch cards into the search box.
