I would like a manga called Azumanga Daioh (Paperback). Used please, cheapest at $10.85 with $3.99 shipping. Totaling $14.84, which I am not sure you can do.

It's honestly just a book, but I have a friend who isn't really wealthy and would love if he read this. He's a really nice guy, so I plan to give this to him for a gift- he loves most manga.

It's probably not the most needed thing on this thread, but hey- I seriously want the guy to be happy for once.

-edit1-
You're also doing an epic thing. Props to you. :)
And honestly hope if someone who really needs it, gets the money.

Thanks for this!

This is admittedly copied and pasted from a very similar offer. I'm posting between classes, so little time and there seems to be a time limit. I'm teaching summer classes at the moment. I'm working in rural Korea as an English teacher, which has very different requirements from working as a UK teacher, as you may gather from my wish.

---

While I'm tempted to repeat my request for a game which I'd really love and would keep me entertained for hours, as the prequel did or ask for decent candy/a food package since some things are hard to get here, I'll request something more worthwhile to my future, as I get the feeling that it's this subreddit is more about.

I could use any of these books. I want to do teacher training for primary (elementary) school in the future and these would help me succeed. Used is fine. Some of them aren't too expensive, but the main problem is delivery. The books are from England (and for the English educational system). I live in South Korea.

If delivery is too expensive/not possible, but you choose me, you could have them delivered to my family in England and I could ask for them to be sent to me by my family for Christmas.

In order of usefulness:

Thanks for reading.

Edit:

While I doubt I've won (I'm guessing the people who got follow up replies or comments stand a higher chance) I'm finished teaching, so I can add a bit more.

The books I've requested are to help me study for, get into and to eventually get through a postgraduate in Education. I work abroad in a country where the currency doesn't translate to much when I bring it back home, so money can be tight as I have to save most of it for the course costs and other related costs to eventually do it. Most of the books are ones to learn about teaching skills - something I know about somewhat because I teach now, but some are more specific to Primary schools in England and the course. I've also included a mathematics study book, since I'd like to brush up on some of the later concepts. It's been about ten years since I took a mathematics course and I've done some study online, but it seems more helpful to have a book which covers everything on the test.

I would really love a copy of Inheritance, by Christopher Paolini. I haven't read it yet and although I feel the series really took a bad turn, I'm optimistic for the final book, especially given how long it was in the works. If you've got something against Paolini, however, I'd be just as happy to receive The Lies of Locke Lamora/Red Seas Under Red Skies, The Name of The Wind/The Wise Man's Fear, or A Storm of Swords/A Feast for Crows. Hardcover preferred :)

These are all books I've either yet to read or have read and dearly loved. I've only just recently gotten into the habit of buying books (as opposed to getting them from the library) and, well, it's sort of addicting. Not so good for my wallet, especially as a college student.

For any of you at home reading along, I urge you to Locke Lamora and The Name of the Wind. Amazing, amazing reads.

There's a great fiction book where the plot involves chess. It's called The Eight. I think your brother would enjoy it. If you would like to add it to his Amazon wish list, I will get it for him along with another book. If not, I will just pick a book on his list and have Amazon send it to him. It's so great that you are supporting your brother. :-)

How kind of an offer! I have one I would love to have but it's a total longshot. It's called Lost in the Taiga: One Russian Family's Fifty-Year Struggle for Survival and Religious Freedom in the Siberian Wilderness It's normally expensive but its possible they may have gotten a used one. It's a fascinating story about a family who fled to the wilderness to avoid religious persecution... they went SO far from civilization, they tried to farm their own food but at times had to survive on only grass and tree bark. It was a 5 person family living in a small one room homemade cabin with a small woodstove. Two of the children in the family were born in the wilderness. When the family were first contacted by people the children had never seen anyone who was not a family member, they were so scared they dropped to their knees and began to cry. It's an amazing story!

I'd really like to have Turtles All The Way Down by John Green. Really appreciate your generosity!

I have a really great simple, introductory philosophy book called A World of Ideas if you're interested. Philosophy really sharpens the critical thinking skills, makes you think and view the world from different perspectives, and gives you good ammo for an argument. I think it's a great thing for a 20 year old guy in college to read.

If you're not interested in that, I could send you some fiction. I will try to choose something that I think would be fitting for you.

I would like this book because I love Mindy Kaling and I think she's hilarious.

Hello. I am a student and books are expensive. I have lucky found some of the books I need on Amazon for not very much. I have a whole list of things I need here. I don't mind used books. In fact I prefer them. for these four books which I need the most it would be $22. : One, [two](http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/0873527909/ref=wl_it_of_o_pC_S_nC?ie=UTF8&colid=1O3E2ZVBKK8B3&coliid=I3CQZCCSUUXD8B&condition=all(), three, and four. Any/all of them would be much appreciated!

This Book

It's written by a Nobel Economist and has been on the buzz on many radio stations. As a potential Econ major, I would love to read this as soon as possible to talk about it with others. One of my econ professors asked if I had read this when we were talking, but I didn't and that was the end of the convo. Likewise, I was having an interview, and the guy asked me if I had read it, when I said I was interested in Econ, and again the convo ended there.

I'm trying to borrow, but the library's copy is on a waitlist system... and I have been number 50 something... for the past 2 months...

http://www.amazon.com/Lord-Rings-J-R-Tolkien/dp/0261102389/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1319062993&sr=8-7

I also have a brand new copy of the hobbit i would be willing to send off.. PM me.

As someone who grew up reading the lord of the rings numerous times and fell in love with the world tolkien so masterfully crafted I almost feel indebted to share that experience with anyone who seeks. Like yourself, I don't have a lot of disposable income but for this I think I can pack my lunches for the week ;)

Captain Underpants And The Preposterous Plight Of The Purple Potty People

It's for an elementary school library; you'd be shipping directly to the school (via this wish list or I can give you the school address, etc.).

I run a 'free bookstore' at the Title I (low income) school with books bought from yard sales. The librarian regularly asks if I have a copy of this or that for the library, which I can usually oblige... the library's operating budget is $0, and has been for more than a decade.

There's a student with special needs who is reading the series and wants to read this book, and asks the librarian daily for it. I do mean daily, as he has little understanding of social dynamics. Or, you could say he's an eternal optimist.

Book #1 in the series is all too common at yard sales, but it could be a year or more before I come across #8 in the series (the Purple Potty People).

Would you be interested in William Gibson's Neuromancer? I have the paperback that I'm sure I'll never read. Let me know!

u/Bethurz · 2 pointsr/RandomKindness

You can get it on amazon for £4.45 including delivery. :)

I've heard very good things about this book and I've been DYING to read it. But, I'm pretty much banned from the local library and I'm living from paycheque to paycheque, so I can't even buy ANY luxuries let alone a book.

u/ultradip · 11 pointsr/RandomKindness

I'm disappointed that you didn't go for this.
