In August, 1996, Gothic Journal launched the Gothic Romance Lending Library (GRLL). Due to generous book donations by gothic romance lovers and publishers, it now contains over 3,400 volumes. This non-profit organization is sponsored by Gothic Journal and housed in the home of Rod and Pat Christian in Spokane, WA, USA. Library users may order from two to eight books at one time and keep them for approximately three months. Books can only be shipped to USA and APO/FPO addresses. Books must be returned (using the provided prepaid mailing label) postmarked on or before the due date.

Donations
We welcome donations of books to the library. We are particularly interested in receiving, and thus preserving, classic historical gothic romances. However, we will also gratefully accept contemporary romantic suspense novels, romantic mysteries, supernatural romances (provided they contain a puzzle or mystery), and woman-in-jeopardy romances. In short, the library seeks books that contain romance, life-threatening suspense, and a puzzle or mystery. We are also interested in receiving duplicates of titles currently in our library, because we often get simultaneous requests for the same book. You might consider donating your personal library to the Gothic Romance Lending Library in your will. Rest assured that they will have a good home. Other gothic lovers will enjoy them in perpetuity. If you see gothic romances on sale for a reasonable price at a garage sale or used book store, please consider snapping them up and donating them to the library. We would hate to see these valuable treasures end up in a dumpster when we could be preserving them for enjoyment by other gothic romance lovers. Monetary donations of any amount are also appreciated. They help us place ads and send out mailings to let others know about the library. Donations of books or money are tax deductible. Books are valued at their original cover price. We will provide you with a receipt for your donation, for tax purposes. Send donations to Rod and Pat Christian at the address above or email them to have a PayPal invoice sent to you for payment of your donation amount. We look forward to receiving your donation and/or book order soon. March 2008 Atwell , Sarah--Through a Glass , Deadly *-- Berkley Prime Crime
