[QUOTE="SeekingStrength, post: 652140, member: 17635"] Echo, When difficult child was in prison, I sent orders via Amazon, which was acceptable with the jail...and later the prison. At first, I selected books I thought would help him. I remember one title was [U]Running with Scissors[/U]. My selections failed. difficult child was totally bummed. Why I thought sending titles about mental illness would help? Have no idea, but that was my thinking at the time. difficult child started giving me suggestions, which I followed through with. He always thanked me profusely. difficult child worked in the library, but claimed their holdings were lame. When he was released, he donated to the library what we had sent. Anyway, my advice is to ask your son for specific topics, authors, etc. and start with that. As a retired librarian, I am all about books. (Although, I bombed out on [B]my[/B] choices for difficult child). SS [/QUOTE]
