A Call for Submissions

While I would love to have a neverending stream of books to keep this site current with new material, I must confess that I am on a tight budget and cannot afford to purchase any and every limited-edition that gets published. Since my financial resources are pathetically limited, I am opening this site up for entry submissions. If you have a book that you are either thrilled to own or bitterly regret purchasing, make your views known on Awful Books! All I ask is that you follow a few simple rules:

• Limit books that are signed & numbered or lettered (preferably lettered).
• Please take pictures no smaller than 1024 x whatever. Don't worry about the thumbnails, as I can generate them.
• When taking photos, try to use natural light whenever possible. If that's not an option, use an indirect light source.
• If your camera has an image stabilizer, make sure to activate it.
• Don't forget to use your camera's macro mode and turn off the flash when taking extreme close-ups.
• If you would like to be cited in some way, let me know what alias should be used, otherwise I will document the entry as being provided by "anonymous". Related to this, if you do not want your limitation identifier recognizable, please make sure it is obscured in the submitted pic.
• Use the current entries as a guide. The writeup should include supporting reasons why you were happy or unhappy with your purchase.

Before submitting an essay, please contact me first to let me know what you'll be sending and a rough estimate as to when I should expect it. Payment will be remitted only after all necessary elements have been amassed to make an entry post.

Now, get writing!
