I have been on the site www.paperbackswap.com for a few years now. I have gotten so many fantastic books and saved my self hundreds os dollars. It is a free site. You register your books. Someone requests your book, you mail it out(you pay postage - go medial mail), you get a point. You then can turn around and use your point to request a book and that member mails it to you. It is really a great site - very well run - I have only had one problem and it was solved easily! Just thought this would be great on this thread!

We love Paperbackswap at our house, too. It has saved us LOTS of money over the last few years. We leave them listed on Paperbackswap for a year and if they're not ordered after the year, we donate them to the Friends of the Library for their used book sale.
I too love Paperbakswap. That is a good idea SusanScarlet about donating the books after a year. I have been trying to decide how long to let mine sit. A year sounds just about right.
I just went there and signed up.....looks like a lot of fun and great books....Thanks for the information!!

I just joined up and got sucked into it a bit as I do when books are involved. Looking forward to swapping some books! I seem to buy books constantly so swapping seems like a great idea.
Feed your book hunger!
