BookMooch bookmarks now available

I'm sending out BookMooch : Box of 500 BookMooch Bookmarks. I have a few hundred boxes of these, so there should be plenty.

and I have 7 remaining BookMooch : Box of 1000 BookMooch hand-out cards left.

Many more people want the cards than I have available, so if you want some you can search for moochcards and find smaller quantities of the cards than a box of 1000 cards.

I'm only sending bookmarks and cards out to people who "give a little", which you can do at http://bookmooch.com/m/give_a_little

Each box costs about $20 to print, plus another $5 to ship. Since BookMooch doesn't make money, the cost is covered by voluntary donations, by people who "give a little".

If you don't want to "give a little" but still wants bookmarks, you can mooch smaller quantities of them by searching for moochmarks.

About a year ago, I blogged about the high cost of these, and the general consensus among mooch users was that printing costs were a high cost given how much money BookMooch gets in donations. So, that means that once these cards and bookmarks are gone, I won't likely be printing any more.

To save money, I'm only sending these to USA moochers, but there are smaller quantities available in other countries from other members directly.

Forgive me if this was mentioned already, why not a PDF with the bookmarks on it? I'll print my own,eh?
I often suggest the site,especially while I'm at Costco looking at books After the person to whom I'm speaking figures out I'm not a serial murderer, they get my 'ad' for the mooch. Apparently, "BookMooch.com" is too much to remember, so the cards would be a nice reminder.

I don't know how feasible printing from these is, but there are pictures of the cards and book marks on the site:

GarethM and Kevin,

The last links in the texts of the two blogposts GarethM posted above point to the files that would be needed to professionally print the Bookmooch bookmarks and cards.

 are you going to wait until January to send these out? I am willing to send you a check for the $20 because my "PIN" in spain really wants these.

I'm sending them out right away.

Print your own:

On the very bottom of the "bookmarks story" page (http://bookmooch.com/about/bookmarks_story) there is a link titled "The graphical source files can be downloaded here."

If you click it, it downloads a zip file where you can access two sets of bookmarks, one horizontal and one vertical, each in ai. or .eps format. They are available in different languages here (http://bookmooch.com/about/cards_story).

Hope that helps.
