Default Books etc.

I want to send my brother a few things from Barnes and Nobles. Is there a limit on how many books I can send? I know they must be soft cover, but are there any other restrictions

Anyone who would be willing to share what they have sent recently I would appriciate it. I am not much of a reader for pleasure, I am a college student and spend all my time reading textbooks My Brother does not usually read when he is on the streets so I am not sure what he might like. I was also thinking of sending some type of puzzle book. Any suggestions on a good one would be appriciated.

Thanks

The limits mostly have to do with his privilege status, since that affects how much and what types of property he can possess.
I've sent 3 at a time with no problem...Well, one book got rejected, but I half expected that
When in doubt, you can always call the mailroom for specifics.

The most I have ever sent was 12 at a time and I think he had to give away like 2 of his old books to get them all. I send him erotica, thrillers, The Art of War, Feel the Fear and Do it any way, john Grisham, steven king, anne rice, those kinds of book are always good. Or just ask him

Why did it get rejected? I'm curious since I have never had one get sent back because of content or anything like that.
