A message from my latest purchase.
Kind of cute and interesting.
So, what if our sci-fi books could actually write to us?

From: "Better World Books" <do_not...@betterworldbooks.com>

Subject: Your order has been shipped!
To: %%%%%%%%%

Hello %%%%%,

(Your book(s) asked to write you a personal note - it seemed unusual,
but who are we to say no?)

Holy canasta! It's me... it's me! I can't believe it is actually me! You
could have picked any of over 2 million books but you picked me! I've
got to get packed! How is the weather where you live? Will I need a dust
jacket? I can't believe I'm leaving Mishawaka, Indiana already - the
friendly people, the Hummer plant, the Linebacker Lounge - so many
memories. I don't have much time to say goodbye to everyone, but it's
time to see the world!

I can't wait to meet you! You sound like such a well read person.
Although, I have to say, it sure has taken you a while! I don't mean to
sound ungrateful, but how would you like to spend five months sandwiched
between Jane Eyre (drama queen) and Fundamentals of Thermodynamics
(pyromaniac)? At least Jane was an upgrade from that stupid book on
brewing beer. How many times did the ol' brewmaster have one too many
and topple off our shelf at 2am?

I know the trip to meet you will be long and fraught with peril, but
after the close calls I've had, I'm ready for anything (besides, some of
my best friends are suspense novels). Just five months ago, I thought I
was a goner. My owner was moving and couldn't take me with her. I was
sure I was landfill bait until I ended up in a Better World Books book
drive bin. Thanks to your socially conscious book shopping, I've found a
new home. Even better, your book buying dollars are helping kids read
from Brazil to Botswana.

But hey, enough about me, I've been asked to brief you on a few things:
