Dear Readers:
Did I make it perfectly clear that the First Annual R&BLers Secret Biblio-Santa Event is open to ALL Kossacks, not just R&BLers' Followers, Contributors, Editors, and Admins? Well, here's the official last word on the subject: it is. The more the merrier, which is just what this time of year is about.
So become a Secret-Biblio Santa and make yourself jolly in keeping with the Season! I'll be saying this a lot for the next several days, "There's no reason for Santa if people aren't willing to receive gifts." Won't you sign up to become a Secret Biblio-Santa, one who gives and receives?
Please turn the page. . .
Here's how you can climb aboard and join the fun.
*Submit your name to me using DKos PM system with a description of your reading taste, whether you want tree or e-books, and your Amazon User Name for your public accessible Amazon (or other retailer's) Wish List where your Santa can choose a title as your gift and have it automatically sent to you.
*If you wish to receive a book from another online source than Amazon, be sure that it accepts PayPal.
*If you wish to receive only specific titles and do not want to be surprised by someone else's choice for you, then you will have to pay for your own book(s) by setting up a "book registry" debit account at your supplier of choice. Then allow the Santa to choose one of those titles.
*Gifters may spend whatever amount they choose. Self-gifters, of course, ditto. In either case, it's your money to be as generous or budgetary conscience with as you choose.
*In some cases, you may have to provide your personal snail mail address if the retailer is not set up like Amazon for buying a gift for someone other than yourself, or if you don't have or don't choose to create your Amazon Wish List.
If you do wish to, you can set up an Amazon Wish List here: http://www.amazon.com/....
You might want to call it "R&BLers Wish List" so your Secret Biblio-Santa will know they are at the right place.
Now, for tonight's update. The following Kossacks are already Secret Biblio-Santas, and it's my understand that in some cases busy reindeer are already speeding on their way bearing good cheer.

I hope to be able to post several more names tomorrow night. So, sign up to become a Secret Biblio-Santa and keep a certain Jolly old Elf employed. After all, Santa's gotta eat, too!
For more ways you can enter into the spirit of giving, but not as a Secret Biblio-Santa, please check out these diaries, courtesy rebel ga:
