Let's address some FAQs about our group:

What is the purpose of this group?

We aim to provide a positive community for book lovers to engage in discussions, share reading recommendations, and foster appreciation of literature. Members may also voluntarily assist one another with locating books of interest via private message.

How do I properly request a book in the group?

When requesting a book, please be polite and include the title, author, and format (e.g., PDF, ePub, audiobook). For example, “#Requesting the PDF of Great Expectations by Charles Dickens. Thank you!”

How often can I request books?

To make it easier for people who share books and to prevent spamming the group, kindly limit requests to 1-2 ebooks or 1 audiobook per day. Thank you for your understanding!

I requested a book, but no one has sent it to me yet. What should I do?

Please be patient if you have not received a requested book, as no one is obligated to share materials. Some reasons you may not get a book include: it's unpublished/unavailable, the requested format is not available, volunteers missed your request, or the individual simply chose not to share. Remember, sharing is completely voluntary.

Who shares books in the group?

Members may voluntarily share books through private messages in our group if they wish. We appreciate those who assist others selflessly without asking for any payment in return. However, soliciting money or compensation for shared materials is strictly prohibited. Please exercise personal responsibility regarding the legality of what you share or request in private exchanges.

Why can't I share a book directly in the group when fulfilling someone's request?

To avoid potential copyright infringement and keep the chat focused, please send any books directly via private message.*
