Books for Anni

Anni313 Posts: 1,790 Joined: 2004/03/04	2004/08/30, 09:48 AM Hi everybody! I realize that this is a strange request, but I'm making it anyway. I'm taking a class in forensic psychology and criminal profiling. The class has turned out to be hugely expensive and as a result I have to scrounge for some books. I'm looking for donations of books written by or about serial crimes ie murder, rape, arson, kidnapping, that kind of thing. If you have any of this kind of stuff gathering dust on a bookshelf and want to get rid of it, I'd be grateful to have it. Thanks! -------------- Anni ******* Hard work must have killed somebody

Special topics classes are only given when someone is available to teach the special topic so I had to grab this one while I had the chance. It's no big deal, I was just hoping somebody might be ready to clean off their bookshelves. -------------- Anni ******* Hard work must have killed somebody

I used to do this for classes. Or I'd buy the book and then copy it and return it. I understand you don't have money for the books but if you can get some thinner books to copy (or even copy them at work) you could cut the cost of a hundred page book down to five dollars or less. In a pinch this would be better than nothing.

If somebody has books, non-fiction stuff about serial killers, etc. they want to get rid of, I'd love to have them though I can't pay you for them. Thanks! -------------- Anni ******* Hard work must have killed somebody
