A fellow librarian posted this; I think it's wonderful!
I've ordered twice from Better World Books, and I just love their
email notifying me my order has shipped.
Hello Friend,
(Your book(s) asked to write you a personal note - it seemed unusual,
but who are we to say no?)
Holy canasta! It's me... it's me! I can't believe it is actually me!
You could have picked any of over 2 million books but you picked me!
I've got to get packed! How is the weather where you live? Will I need
a dust jacket? I can't believe I'm leaving Mishawaka, Indiana already
- the friendly people, the Hummer plant, the Linebacker Lounge - so
many memories. I don't have much time to say goodbye to everyone, but
it's time to see the world!
I can't wait to meet you! You sound like such a well read person.
Although, I have to say, it sure has taken you a while! I don't mean
to sound ungrateful, but how would you like to spend five months
sandwiched between Jane Eyre (drama queen) and Fundamentals of
Thermodynamics (pyromaniac)? At least Jane was an upgrade from that
stupid book on brewing beer. How many times did the ol' brewmaster
have one too many and topple off our shelf at 2am?
I know the trip to meet you will be long and fraught with peril, but
after the close calls I've had, I'm ready for anything (besides, some
of my best friends are suspense novels). Just five months ago, I
thought I was a goner. My owner was moving and couldn't take me with
her. I was sure I was landfill bait until I ended up in a Better World
Books book drive bin. Thanks to your socially conscious book shopping,
I've found a new home. Even better, your book buying dollars are
helping kids read from Brazil to Botswana.
But hey, enough about me, I've been asked to brief you on a few things:
We sent your order to the following address: ********
We provide quick shipping service to all our customers. You chose
Standard shipping. It should arrive in 6 to 9 business days. At this

Eagerly awaiting our meeting,
