For a 13oz. or lighter it costs $2.23 (base media mail). You can send it first class cheaper, sometimes - if the book is lighter weight, but I haven't gotten below $1.85 that way.

gims Member Registered: 01/16/07 Posts: 3404 Loc: USA	I must not understand the categories then. I was of the understanding that media mail is 3rd class, unless the weight is over 16oz (I messed up above and put 13oz), at which time it becomes 4th class media mail. There is a library rate, which is cheaper, but it has to be between libraries. And there's the bound printed matter category. I send my books media mail, because they do open packages nowadays, as periodic audits. Please, correct me if I'm wrong. If there is a cheaper way, I'd love to use it. I mail a lot of books.

jawjaw Da Queen Registered: 07/02/03 Posts: 12025 Loc: Alabama	How about a CAPTION Contest? Like take these picture below...I love what they say! We could find a picture and then have everyone submit a caption for it. I did that one time with my site and had tons of entries. TONS! or this one _________________________ Queen JJ www.queenjawjaw.com All Things Royal - 2010 and Beyond Humorist for the NABBW

Eagle Heart Member Registered: 03/22/05 Posts: 4876 Loc: Canada	JJ, I think that's a fun idea! I love the wit and humour of the women here and would thoroughly enjoy hearing what ingenious captions would emerge. Would we be able to see the captions here or would they be submitted directly to you or Dotsie? Wouldn't that be a lot of work for you? Or is it possible to get the community at large to vote for, say the top five (the number of winners could be based on how many books Dotsie wants to get rid of, ex, 2 books each.) Anyway, I like the idea of a caption contest. _________________________ When you don't like a thing, change it. If you can't change it, change the way you think about it. (Maya Angelou)

jawjaw Da Queen Registered: 07/02/03 Posts: 12025 Loc: Alabama	I really dunno at this point. I'm just throwing it out on the table for the Dotster to look over. I suppose we would post a picture HERE and everyone would send their caption to Dotsie (or me if she wanted) and she would pick the best one, or ones, depending on how many books she wanted to give away. I have tons of pic's...so giving her one for the contest would be a walk in the park...ah...make that folder...a walk in the folder...LOL! Laughter surely makes us take intermission. It gives us pause and helps us to smile, giggle, or guffaw. I truly believe that is why I'm so healthy...I laugh every day...course then again, I do my own cooking and hair (not at the same time)...what's not to laugh at? _________________________ Queen JJ www.queenjawjaw.com All Things Royal - 2010 and Beyond Humorist for the NABBW
