For whatever reason, the following books are not postable on PBS, either no ISBN that I can find, or has an ISBN but is not in the PBS database. I used them all when I was a French major, so they have various degrees of writing in them, but nothing is too crazy (I am not listing the ones that had so much writing that I thought it interfered with reading). I don't want to go through the trouble of adding them all by hand, so I am offering them in the following ways:

Plays -- all titles below for 3 points
Amphytryon (Moliere)
Iphegenie (Racine)
Berenice (Racine)
Horace (Corneille)
Bajazet (Racine)

Dual-volume classics -- all titles below for 3 points
Delphine I et II (Mme de Stael)
La Nouvelle Heloise I et II (Rousseau)

Letter-based novels -- all titles below for 3 points:
Lettres Portugaises/Lettres d'une peruvienne
Lettres Neuchateloises (Charriere)
Une si longue lettre (Ba)
Caliste/Lettres ecrites de Lausanne (Charriere)

The following titles are available as a bundle for 3 points:
Rene (Chateaubriand)
Indiana (Sand)
La Religieuse (Diderot)
La Chartreuse de Parme (Stendhal)
Justine ou les malheurs de la vertu (Sade)

If you are interested or want more info, please PM me.

The following offer has expired unless you have already contacted me


Not paying attention, I posted this in the forum before I realized it should've gone here. Can anyone tell me how to delete a post? Sorry for clogging things up! Thanks


Hi! I have the following french books available

La Vie et La Mort

Les Dieux et Dieu

L'etre et L'apparence

and the Harper Collins French Concise Dictionary

I'll do 2 for 1 on any combination of these, OR 3 for 1 if you choose the first three books (not the dictionary), because these books are thin and will be light to ship.

I have this book, it has over 40 wishers, however, the edition I have is in French, and so far, none of the wishers I've Pm'd in turn want this version. I've submitted a change to the Book Data, but I know someone wants the French version, just PM me, and I'll post it directly to your WL.

 

Thanks!

I have a set of Auralog "Tell Me More" German CDs w/headset (ISBN 893197026).  I thought they were really useful, especially for vocabulary.  I'll send them free to anyone who orders 2 books from my shelf (I have several German selections).

Okulary (in Polish) :: Julian Tuwim

 

That went fast!  Maybe someone wants my French books too?

Du cote de chez Swann (French) :: Marcel Proust
Ce que la nuit raconte au jour (What the Night Tells the Day) (French) :: Hector Bianciotti

Ce que la nuit is unpostable because of minor water damage.  It's free with Swann or any other book off my shelf; PM me when you order.

I've recently posted a bunch of books to prepare for the English component of the French baccalaureate exam (last year of high school to graduate) starting at the "sixieme" level to the "terminale/BAC" level. I'm offering all those books 2  for 1 because I don't have any more room for them! The majority have no writing inside and are just extra copies I have. If you're interested just drop me a pm:)

I've also posted some English grammar textbooks (beginner to advanced level) that have no writing in them either if anyone is interested. Those are the regular one credit each.

I have many german books on my shelf and will always do a two for one on my foreign language paperbacks or hard cover and paperback.

The only exception is I don't do two hardcovers for one credit.

The genres are science fiction, fantasy, non-fiction, horror and young adult.

Thank you for looking.

Vielen Dank fuer Ihr Interesse.
