mailings throughout the Round and include any additional instructions on
the care and handling of your book.
note: Smaller books can be wrapped in newspaper and mailed in an envelope.
Larger books should be mailed in a box that can be re-used by others.
It could be wet or raining somewhere along the way...as a safe guard,
you might also wrap your book in plastic for protection.

state that they are ready to send it out.
If a new request for the book appears on the list within three days following

which the book owner has made available.
