The Great Betty Book Swap!
Here's the email she sent us:
Hi founding Betty’s,
I have a question for you. I have several duplicate Betty books (I’m building my collection by buying lots on ebay). I was wondering if others might be in the same boat, and, if so, if you would consider a book trading page on your blog. We could just post a list of the books we have duplicates of and see if others have books to swap? What do you think.
BTW, I’m having a huge fun time being a part of your community. It’s a fairly diverse group, but one thing you all have in common is a great sense of humor!
Thanks for considering this.
I know we have several Bettys who own the entire canon. As of this past week, I too have managed to collect them all (I thought I already had, but discovered that I was missing Never Say Goodbye, so it was off to Amazon.com for my own copy).
So - post your extra copies (if you're willing to part with them) OR request books you're missing. When you find a match, email me and we'll work out the addresses in confidence. I probably don't need to mention it, but just so as to avoid any confusion, postage is to be paid by the sender. Okay?
Thank you so much Betty Debbie for doing this. I've a long way to go before I have a full deck of Betty books, so it will be great if we can help each other out. Here are the ones I have doubles of:
ReplyDeleteONCE FOR ALL TIME 2 copies
ROSES AND CHAMPAGNE
THE FATEFUL BARGAIN
TWO WEEKS TO REMEMBER
SURGEON FROM HOLLAND aka VISITING CONSULTANT
I might very well purchase another ebay lot that has extras in it if I think I can find homes for them, but for now, this is what I've got. :-)
I need lots and lots of books still.
No doubles yet, but I do need two books:
ReplyDeleteTHE HASTY MARRIAGE
VICTORY FOR VICTORIA
Betty Barbara here--
ReplyDeleteI shall post my offerings shortly. I do have quite a few, a lot of them with original covers.
Stay tuned for future developments....
So sorry, Bettys -- all my extras have gone to Betty Janet. Having hooked her on The Canon, the least I could do was support her habit!
ReplyDeleteShe might have some duplicates, though -- I'll ask.

Betty Barbara,
ReplyDeleteI would be very happy to take the following off your hands: Daughter of the Manor, A Kind of Magic, Betty Neels Christmas and All Else Confusion. I am not particular about covers... it's whichever you want to pass on. If you would like any of the ones I posted let me know and we can swap out. If not, I'll buy these. Just let me know what price you're looking for.
Betty Cyndi--
