Hi Rosrach,

General fiction/interest books should be posted in the Home-Miscellaneous forum. We've no problem with car manuals in the Vehicles forum or photography books in the Hobbies forum.

A dedicated book forum? I can see your reasoning but we've been reluctant to add one because we think that Members should try to pass on books to their local charity shop or school. If Members do decide to give them away on JumbleTown, we'd prefer if they gave them away in bulk rather than singly, as the latter creates more work for Admin in terms of monitoring. Also single book threads (and also single jewellery threads, and single clothing threads) often stay Reserved for longer because Givers are awaiting SAEs. Again, a Giver's primary aim should be to free up space as quickly as possible.

In short, JumbleTown, was set up to help folks pass on bulky items -- small items really should be passed on to local charities where possible.

Thanks for the feedback.

Regards
