Description:

Thanks to @taeniura for allowing me to continue the swaps she ran for 122 weeks consecutively from mid-2013 to the end of 2015. As long as there is interest, the swap will run every two weeks.

We all loved to read when we were kids. What we remember most often are the beautiful illustrations found in our childhood books and on book covers--Peter Rabbit, Miffy, Little Polar Bear, Winnie-the-Pooh, Pippi Longstocking, Beatrix Potter, Paddington, The Hobbit, Alice-in-Wonderland, The Velveteen Rabbit, and many, many others.

For this swap, you will send one store-bought children's book illustration postcard to one partner. Freecards with children's book illustrations are allowed, but advertising cards and homemade cards are not. The cards must be sent naked--written on and stamped, but no envelope.

No unexplained 1-ratings. 4.9 minimum rating. Will allow others with reasonable explanation. Please message me.

If you're interested in the previous series of children's book illustration swaps, you can check out the 125+ postcards I received by visiting my blog: Children's Book Illustration Postcards, Part V.

What is the difference between a free card and an advertising card?

Nnyla 08/15/2016 #

@babsmomof5 Free cards typically look just like regular postcards and are distributed at libraries, bookstores, museums. Advertising cards are clearly meant to be used as mailers to advertise a book (or something else). The back of the card, like the front, is about selling the product--even if there's space on the back for writing. Is that clear? If not, I can send some examples via email.
