Paperback Swap


I try to be "good" and hit the library sales and garage sales. when indulging my tendency towards bibliophilia. However, I can't always find what I want and I never seem to find a good sale when I need (okay, okay... want) a new book. If this sounds like you, consider signing up for PaperBackSwap. Register for free by simply typing in your name, a mailing address, and an email address. Then, use your two free book credits to order some new gently used books.

Once you request a book, the member owning the book will mail it to your home for free. Add to PaperBackSwap's database of books by creating your virtual bookshelf. Just type in the ISBN (found by the UPC symbol on each book) of all of the paperback, hardcover, and audio books you are finished with. If another member requests a book from you, you simply wrap it up, take it the Post Office and mail it at the media mail rate (significantly lower than regular postage.) You earn one credit and can choose a new book for every book you mail to someone else.

PaperbackSwap offers a similar service at seperate websites for movie fanatics and audiophiles.
