The casualty list, as requested.
Mandala House's list of the injured.
Please, while perusing the list, be aware of a couple of things: As it stands now, that is the full list of everything that shows ANY damage. We made that list for the insurance company, because triaging the wounded is going to take a Very Long Time, and we can't make him wait around for a number. If any of you are planning to find or buy anything on the list, please contact me, and I'll be able to tell you the status and probability of salvage on what we have. As I figure out what I'm going to keep despite the damage, versus what's beyond all repair, I'll be editing down the Mandala House Wish List.
Also, the order of the list is in no way indicative of which I'm more urgently seeking. That's just displayed in descending order from whatever I added to it most recently, and since I'm working my way down a spreadsheet sorted by ISBN #s, order in that ranking really has no relevance at all.
And third: Please let me thank all of you for caring so much about what we lost, and for wanting to help with the replacements. Seriously, it's amazing to me how in such economically fearsome times, you can all be so willing to pitch in for friends who, all things considered, are well off and well insured. I've been aware since the first day of this mess that no matter how upsetting it was to me, it was still very much a First World Problem, and that I was lucky to have a home that could flood, and books that could be damaged, and even more to have insurance that would cover even part of it. I'm lucky beyond the telling of it, even in this situation, but that means I feel even more grateful that all of you care enough to try and lessen what burden it is.
You're wonderful. I mean it. You are. And thank you.
P.S. Going by Amazon's prices? The adjustor is going to have kittens when he sees this list. Or burst into tears. Or both.
