I love this site! I have been able to get a bunch of books - PLUS I have gotten rid of books that we don't want anymore!
Here's the scoop:
1- Post 10 books in good condition that you want to swap. You'll get 2 credits for this, so that you can order some books for yourself.
2- If somebody wants your book an email is sent to you. You mail it to them. Once your book is received by them they log it on paperback swap and you get 1 credit (2 if it's book on tape). I don't think that I have spent more than $3 to send any of the books out.
3- Look up books that you want and request them. They pay the shipping to send it to you. Once you get the book it's yours or you can read and put it back up to swap.
This site has been great. I have received hard back books that look brand new and would have cost $16 at the store. It can be hit and miss but everybody is supposed to send good condition books, I haven't ever received a lemon. If so there is a spot to log that once you receive the book.
PS - The DVD swap site is great too. I have cleaned out a bunch of old DVDs and we have received some that we have wanted but didn't want to pay full price.

Wow!! I've never heard of this!! I am definetely going to try it!!! Thanks!! I need to get rid of some childrens books, do they do childrens?
Oh this is just what I've been needing! We have so many books piling up and need so many more for that dang AR reading...maybe I should get a library card :)...nah...I think I'll just try this!
Yep they do all types of books - including children's books. They also have a thing that you can send a box of books - but I haven't tried that.
awesome, Amy! Good to see you around the blogging world, I've missed you! Lucy and Emily are so cute together in primary, I'm so glad they are together, Emily was the reason Lucy was able to adjust to the new year so semi-smoothly. Do you know when the new library will be opening? (speaking of books...)
