Ive sent A book so far and it turned in to a cluster mess :P
But I think that's mainly because they love to screw with my PPs mail.

Just sidetracking alittle, i was wondering when you guys buy book from amazon, do you always buy a new copy for your pp? i know amazon sell second hand books too so do those pass through?

I have not send any books but i thought if i would want to send him books on a more regular basis, maybe i cld send him second hand books (to save money cause i am a student), what i think i know that is he can only keep a certain number of books, the rest gets donated to the library... Ill order new copy for special occasions like birthdays and xmas. what do you guys think?

I've sent second hand books but they still must come from a vendor and not a private seller. You need to look at the description next to the title and I wouldn't try and send any that said they had notes in the margins or anything like that

I always buy a new one, well the books I buy aren't to expensive that is probably cause of the dollar :P

I just bought a few books for my pals and I'll hope they are enjoying it but I think my special pp already finished it hahahaha

I might sounds arrogant but I only send my PP new books as I think that is at leats what my PP deserve. Eventhough I am not rich I can cut off my motnh budget just to please my precious one as they don't have any budget at all. I know that in some prison they took away the book when its falling apart. By buying them new book they can keep it longer. My apology if I offence anyone by my opinion.

Depending on how old the book is, I've found that most used books that are in good condition are only a few dollars cheaper than the new ones anyway.
