OH GOD SOMEBODY SAVE ME

Amazon.fr has no shipping cost for books. It is absolutely 100% free within metropolitain France.

SAVE ME FROM MY OWN BIBLIOPHILIA



Already bought: George Sand, Lelia; Eugene Sue, Les Mysteres de Paris; Alfred de Musset, La Confession d'un enfant du siecle. Seriously considering: Mme de Stael, Corinne; Anon (attrib. Musset), Gamiani ou deux nuits d'exces.)

It won't. That's how I lost a year's worth of playbills/programmes from London, including ones signed by Judi Dench and Alan Rickman. And the ones that pissed me off the most were actually my unsigned Donmar Take Me Out because the glossary of baseball terms was hilarious, and my Coast of Utopia because it had a research list.

The Royal Mail got me all my bootlegs and all my books and all my notes, but NOT my programmes. Seven years later, I'm still bitter. (at least it broke me of my need to collect autographs - I have my pictures with the awesome people.)

If I come in June, I'll probably just be there for the weekend (three days or so) and thus only have a carryon, so I'll be theoretically able to shuttle some things back with a second bag (I don't care if they delay my luggage on the trip back since I'll be at home, after all).

Incidentally I intend to do the same. XD I'm bringing a carryon-sized suitcase and a foldable duffle bag to stuff somewhere, and a backpack probably. Because knowing me I'll buy stuff and have to squeeze the clothes and shoes and books in somewhere...
