UPDATE!! >>> UPDATE!! >>> UPDATE!!

If credits go over 6,000 credits, I will throw in "The Listening Eye" A Miss Silver Mystery by: Patricia Wentworth. A previous library edition published by Warner Books, 202 pages.

Summary:
Miss Silver paid close attention to the strange tale of sensible, middle-aged Miss Paulina Paine. Though totally deaf, Miss Paine could lip-read so well that strangers never suspected her handicap - or guessed she could eavesdrop with uncanny accuracy. She had been, she told Miss Silver, on the far side of a spacious art gallery, but her "listening eye" was not mistaken: she distinctly "heard" two men planning both a theft and a murder.
Miss Paine hadn't a clue to the victim. But before the week was up, her account of the two conspirators would lead Miss Silver to Merefields, a famous English country estate where a diamond necklace was missing, a young man had died, and - unless Miss Silver could stop him - a killer was about to strike again...

Want to know the rest? Let the bidding start! =)

The twenty books which are in the volumes are listed above in the description, and her name isn't among one of them.
I'm not sure if I would have any of her books.....Sorry.
However if I do stumble upon her, amidst my books, I will be sure to let you know.

Hope you find something you like among the books I do have! =)

Jul 16th, 2011 at 8:47:46 AM PDT by

These are great books! My mom used to get these Readers Digest Books.. Back in the day they were hard covered. I love these books!
Watching and fanned

Jul 16th, 2011 at 4:53:54 AM PDT by

Yes, Reader's Digest is great to have such books, where you can enjoy quite a few good reads, all between only two covers....LOL ;)
Consider myself your fan as well.

KEEP WATCHING, and if this goes 10,000 credits, in addition to the "MYSTERY" book I'll be throwing in, I will throw in another Reader's Digest Volume. THAT"S ANOTHER FOUR (4!) BOOKS!!
In such as case, I will take more pictures, and contact a moderator to add the pictures, and add to the description and title!
In the case of 10,000 credits, that will be six (6) Reader'd Digest Volumes = 25 books, plus 5 more books, just as the credits go up.
That will equal THIRTY (30!) books altogether at 10,000 credits!!!

If credits go 9,000 or more, I will throw in "Breaking Her Fall" by: Stephen Goodwin!

Like BRAND NEW condition; 408 pages; published by Harcourt Books; Retail Price: $14.00 .

Summary: On a ordinary summer night, Tucker Jones picks up the phone, expecting to hear from his fourteen-year-old daughter Kat. Instead it's another parent, who reports that Kat is not, as promised, at the movies, but at a party - and makes a shocking allegation about her activities there. Furious, Tucker races to the party to find Kat already departed. But his interrogation of the teenage boys still present doesn't end until one of them crashes into a glass tabletop. In a second, Tucker's rage turns to remorse. Soon he is under arrest. He could easily lose his home and his business. But, most importantly, will he lose his daughter?
"Breaking Her Fall" charts the passage of a family through an all-too-imaginable crisis with extraordinary realism and transcendent grace.

Oh! And (of course!) when the credits go up, as I throw in more books, you will get the books which were thrown in previously at a lower amount of credits.....just to make it a little clearer.

At 10,000 credits, I will throw in a "MYSTERY" book. I will not tell you the title, nor author (to make this a little funner).... but, you won't be dissappointed.

SO LET THE FUN BEGIN!

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! READ THIS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

~ If credits get to 7,500 credits or more, I will throw in "Otherwise Engaged" by: Suzanne Finnamore! ~

Almost like BRAND NEW condition; 209 pages; published by Vintage Contemporaries; Retail Price: $12.00 .

Summary:
When Michael pops the question, Eve is deliriously happy. She tells grocery clerks. She subscribes to bridal magazines. She delights in the rainbows that shower from the one-carat ( okay, .81-carat ) ring on her hand. For two days.

"Otherwise Engaged" is Suzanne Finnamore's wickedly funny account of an intelligent, rational woman's transformation into the bundle of anxieties that is the bride-to-be. While the cumulative stresses of ordering invitations, finding a dress, and organizing the Perfect Honeymoon fry Eve's nerves, the very real prospect of being with one man for the rest of her days reverberates through her consiciousness like a Chinese gong. The sight of Michael's discarded socks on the floor makes her realize, "Suddenly, a sock on the floor is not just a sock on the floor. It is a sock on the floor for the rest of my life." Uproarious, insightful, tender, "Otherwise Engaged" dashes our soap-bubble fantasies in favor of a hilariously realistic walk to the altar where man and woman enter into marriage with their eyes wide open.

I wrote to Listia to upload more images, but got the reply that don't add on more pix after there is a bid.
So, I have instead uploaded my images to ImageShack.

The pictures are of the 6th Reader's Digest volume, which I will add @ 10,000 credits.
You can go to my ImageShack profile to view these images. Here is the link:

Thank you! I fanned you back! Yes, there are many authors and many great reads here!

Jul 20th, 2011 at 8:23:02 AM PDT by

@ owlshop:
To your previous question: The typical volume contains four outstanding books in condensed form. The condensations in the volumes, are however created and edited by Reader's Digest, by special arrangement with the publishers, authors, or holders of copyrights.

As the credits go up, and I throw in addition books, just letting you know that the addition books will NOT be condensed, but the original unabridged novels.

Jul 20th, 2011 at 10:07:35 AM PDT by

Hope this helps! =)

Jul 20th, 2011 at 10:08:01 AM PDT by

creds coming in thnx for reply

Jul 20th, 2011 at 7:43:30 PM PDT by

No problem! Yep, hoping many credits come in!
In such a case, I'll want to list many more HOT auctions, especially for those who love to read....LOL ;)

Jul 21st, 2011 at 8:23:11 AM PDT by

i let them know on fb .might have cute my own tthroat. gulp

Jul 20th, 2011 at 7:45:50 PM PDT by

Aww, thanks, hun! I appreciate the kind gesture....
Though I must admit, it can bring in some competition here. But thats all the FUN, isn't it?

Jul 21st, 2011 at 8:24:07 AM PDT by

Are these unabridged versions or condensed books?

Jul 19th, 2011 at 10:13:56 PM PDT by

I'll have to check that, and will get back to you later.

Jul 20th, 2011 at 8:22:01 AM PDT by

Oh! Sorry, i actually made a mistake with my math...LOL ;)
6 Reader's Digest volumes x 4 books per volume = 24 books, not 25.

So, at ten thousand credits, you will be getting 29 books, sorry!

Again I apologize!
