I seen stuff like this before, and I think I know how it's supposed to work.
The "stranger" recruited the person who posted this to OP's friend as one of 6 people. Each of those 6 people recruit 6 others, who send the books to the stranger (their friend's friend), hence the 36. OP's friend will be asked to recruit 6 people in turn, and each of those recruit 6, who then send books to OP's friend.
I think it's a bit dodgy that they're being asked to buy new, but I'd be more concerned that these kind of schemes can be used to feel out who's likely to fall for more sinister scams, as people feel they're getting a lot back for very little.
Plus, it only takes a few levels (13 if my maths is right) before there are more (far more!) recruits needed than people on earth.
Of course it's in Scunthorpe.
I have something similar! Mine is a playwright, so not on most people's radar, unless they Google my name. It's great.
Sounds good. I season it and dry it out at 90°C. It takes 30-40 minutes to get perfectly crisp with no burnt bits. I should try growing my own.
Steven Pacey reading Joe Abercrombie's First Law series is outstanding. The books themselves are among my favourites, but Steven makes them even more special. He has different voices (and accents) for the characters and manages to stay consistent with them. His pacing is also excellent.
