Before you all send tons of books to an American expatriate in a 
Mexican resort community might I suggest organizations more deserving 
of your largesse.

1. Your local public library obviously. They can be picky about what 
    they accept though.

2. Your local penal institution.  Prison libraries are seriously 
    underfunded, in some jurisdictions they are not funded at all and 
    rely exclusively on donations.  Prison libraries become 
    increasingly more important as other *amenities* for inmates are 
    cut.  Copies of Anarchist Cookbook and US Army Special Forces 
    training manuals would be greatly appreciated.
     
3. If you feel compelled to ship your books overseas please send them 
    to International Book Bank, 815 Central Ave, Linthicum, MD  
    21090.  This non-profit  organization supplies books to Third World
    public educational institutions,  benefitting poor people without 
    Uma Thurmanesque wives in Caribbean party towns. 


Thanks,
