En zo, the Wishlist

Here's what I posted at Readerville:

***

I have taken on a volunteer role developing a library for a community house in north east Philadelphia (a not-entirely-good part of town). I am seeking donations of either gently used or new books for these kids (2nd grade upwards). If you are interested in divesting yourself of a few items, please take a gander at the next few posts here and check out the selection I have put together. Please email me for the mailing address.

No one is obliged to participate, but I will gratefully accept any undamaged books offered. Thank you.

I have had a good response from some exceedingly generous people. Listed in the next few entries are the books I am still looking for, although I should note that I am constantly updating the list over at Amazon:
Cliveden Park House wishlist
.

I use Amazon's wishlist feature because it is an easy tool to update and manipulate. I do not expect people to buy directly from Amazon unless they choose to. There are plenty of other places to buy books cheaper online. If you don't want to buy at all, but have a used item or two in the house, we'd accept that. I only ask that the book is not damaged, torn or defaced in any way.

I will break the list up over two or three entries.
