I thought I saw a link on this site where you could see what kind of books are not allowed. I can't find it now. My question is about Advanced Reader Copies. I have a few of them and don't know if we are allowed to post them. Could someone direct me to where I can find out more information about what is not allowed. Thanks in advance!

How do I give a point to a member who went the extra mile for me? Thanks

I accidentally marked a book as received when I haven't received it. Is there a way to undo that so it will show up on my pending list again?

From 22 October I have a problem with le my list of desired books.
I could not see all the pages of the list.
When i entered in the desired book list "Richieste" in Italian i could see just the first three pages of the same list.
From the 4th page i could not bee able of go. I could not see my entire whising list
The site say to me it is a Server Error "The requested URL cannot be accessed due to a system error on this server"
AOLserver/4.5.1 on http://bookmooch.com
I tried to contact by mail tecnical assistance but they not reply to me or fix the error. How I could do to see again my entire desired book list ? Please someone help me

Hey!

I was adding some new books to my profile and noticed that there don't seem to be any new posts on the forum and the wiki is down. Is Bookmooch still active? Are people still mooching/posting?

When you use a previous description for listing a book, please check if it is a hardcover or paperback. I recently received a book that I wanted, but it was listed in the description as a paperback and turned out to be a hardcover, probably because the description that the sender could find listed a paperback and the difference wasn't noticed. Maybe this doesn't bother most people but I don't ask for hardcover books any more -- they take up more room and they're a nuisance.

Yes, BookMooch is still alive and kicking; I've been listing some books and getting some requests recently. For a while I went the "hand-enter" route which is possible but exasperating. Even when I find a book with the ISBN in Amazon UK the information is usually incomplete compared with the Amazon US listing. Recently I discovered a system that works most of the time:
1) Look the book up in "Search BookMooch for a book" under the "Browse" tab.
2) If the book has ever been listed on BookMooch, it will appear.
3) Click on the book and you will get whatever information BookMooch has available. (I suspect most of these were drawn from Amazon US when it was still accessible, so the data are pretty good.)
4) On this page, if your book matches up with the description, you can click "Give My Copy" to have the book added to your inventory.
5) I guess if you have a paperback when the previously listed book is a hardcover, or something like that, you can note this in "Condition Notes" once it's in your inventory.
I still sometimes have to "hand-enter", but not nearly so often, and everything helps.

I requested 3 mooches from ~~what appears to be~~ a reliable BookMooch participant.
I requested the first book a couple days ago and the last 2 books I requested yesterday.
I've heard nothing back from the offerer.
When I send a book, I e-mail the Moocher to let them know the book is on it's way and give them a tracking #.
I'm concerned that my books might not be coming.
What advise do you have to give?

Hi everybody - I've been on BookMooch for some time and, as I get older and more reluctant to keep going to the post office (especially in the Minnesota winter) and USPS gets more restrictive about what they will accept as mail with stamps on it (currently the envelope has to weigh less than 10 oz and be less than 1/2 inch thick), I found myself listing fewer and fewer books. Then on a LibraryThing forum I found a site called "Pirate Ship". On this site you can enter the sender and destination name and address and the type of postage you want (you can specify Media Mail), the site will generate a USPS mailing label with a tracking number that you can print and put on the envelope, and the charge is the same as if you took it to the Post Office (no monthly fees, no per-label charge). I thought it was too good to be true so I tried it a few times and it has always worked. My mail carrier is willing to pick up the envelopes/packages, I can follow with the tracking number on the USPS website, and I can send multiple books and books that don't meet the qualifications for mail with stamps. If you want to avoid the trip to the post office, I recommend that you try it--I'm sure you'll like it as much as I do.

I sent a book to the address given with delivery confirmation and it says that it was delivered on November 3. The sender said that she never received it. I hope that I'm not out of a point and postage if she still says she never received the book.

how do i make my amazon preference USA?

Is there a way to have it search uk only by default? Finding it hard to find a book that isn’t in the USA.

Hello Everyone, I have just joined, I am just wondering how the posting of the books work, is this the person who sends the book has to pay for the postage.

I rejected a book, but just found it.

The subject explains my predicament. I have emailed the person who requested it to see if she still wants it and has the credit to mooch it.
I told her I would wait until I hear back from her.

If she does, can I just relist it, so that she can request it again?
Or is there a way that bookmooch can reinstste her request and remove my rejection?

I have just joined BookMooch and have just added 2 books into my inventory. They were both in v. good condition. I cannot see anywhere on the site that says which condition the books must be in or anywhere where I can let the BookMoocher know this. Is it acceptable to give away books that may be annotated, foxed, tanned or without the dust cover etc?

I have just added a book to my inventory. There were 3 people on the Wishlist and BookMooch automatically gave it to all 3. I only have 1 book. If all 3 BookMoochers want the book, how do I choose which one will get it?

I added a book to my inventory, and tried to add 2 more copies. It says that the book is in my inventory. Is there a way to add multiple copies of the same title?

Not a newbie, but where else do I ask this?

I have inadvertently requested the same book twice, both from outside my country (ask me first). Can I put this right, or should I simply wait until I get one or more replies and then respond accordingly?

Thanks

Sarah

I have been a bookmooch member for years in the USA. Recently somehow BookMooch decided i am in the UK. Now I can not search the American lists of books available and when I try Amazon I can only use Amazon UK. How can I move my bookmooch back to the USA?

Not really a Newbie issue, but I don't know where else to raise it. Today I have been offered a book that I took off my wishlist months ago. This happened some weeks ago as well (same book). What is going on here?
