Description:

This swap is for old book pages. The pages may come from any genre of book. The only absolute rule is that the book source must be from the 1940's or before, and the page should be complete and relatively free of major damage (like rips) obviously yellow, browning of pages are part of the appeal of the patina that old books acquire and are to be expected. We will swap five book pages with two partners. For myself, I will be giving hearts to those who send pages from more than one book--or who send more than the required amount. The rest is up to all...

This swap is open to newbies as long as your profile is filled out. Please do NOT sign up for this if you have more than one no send, or a total rating of under 4.5. The swap is international.

What do you mean, 'relatively free of damage and wear?' wouldn't aging be considered wear? I wouldn't want to risk a 3 because the pages were yellowed/browned... pming u about something else too...

In light of dreamerkins observations I have made some slight edits to the above description. Yellowing and browning of pages is delightful --major tears or creases is not. Hearts of course, are a matter of heart -- I will be giving them out to those who send more than the required amount, or who are making the effort to draw from more than one book source. Happy Swapping. Mapps

Can I fold the pages to send them in a smaller (and of course cheaper) envelope ?

mapps 03/ 2/2008 #

That would be fine as long as there is a single crease. The idea of course is that your partner will have a range of options to make something new with the pages. MAPps

One swapper in our group was recently suspended. If gummie does not send to you, please contact me asap and I will angel or arrange and angel for you. Sorry, at the time of assigning partners that was no problem with this swapper. Mapps
