I want to send a book to one of my pp,
I'm on amazon and I don't understant
What's hardback mean?
What's paperback mean?
(I,m initialy french, I speak english but some expressions are not understandable to me)
I don't understand how amazon works either ...
Can I sent the book directly to my pp? DO I have to send it to the prison with a note to give it to him?Do I have to send the receipt? Does my pp have to pay anything?

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA


Ok thanks in advance for the helpful soul, that will help poor little me

Paper back, means simply "soft cover", like a magazine cover. Hardback, "solid stiff cover" unable to bend. I would advise soft cover if available just because some prisoners are not allow hard cover. No the prisoner will not have to pay anything. Do not get anything gift wrapped and you do not have to enclose a note, you can just address it with his name and number as you would mail. You need to send a receipt in most prisons, so i always enclose that.

Personally i would ASK before you send anything. In most prisons there is a limit as to what they can have so they may need to hand in a book they have to receive another. Also there are some books banned, so unless you know these things i would play it safe. As they say better safe then sorry. If you want to send a "gift" just make a voucher and have it for any book and then your pen pal can share what they would like for you to order? Just a few thoughts.

smiley.. i didnt think you were that kinda gal.;-))))

LOL, you guys are too funny. Six months ago I never would of read so much into the written word....

A paperback has a floppy cover and a hardcover has a cover which is thicker and you cant bend it. If a book is paperback only then you can only buy the book with a floppy cover. It doesnt really matter which one you buy, paperbacks are usually cheaper than hardcovers but that is the only difference.
