I have a friend in tent city who asked me to send him some books and magazines. I looked through the forums and did a search, but did not find the information I needed. Any help would be appreciated

1. How do I address the book or magazine?

example:
Name - Booking#
2939 W. Durango Street
Phoenix, AZ 85009

Is this correct? Do I also need the housing unit number?

2. Who are the approved vendors for Tent City?

example: Amazon, Barnes and Noble

Are there any others like half dot com? Can I send both paperback and hard cover?

3. Can I send magazines?

example: People, Us

Do I have to send the magazines directly through the company or can I use another approved vendor? Are there any suggestions for another vendor?
