Wow! I found this great site for swapping books!! Check it out!

A very good website, but seems limited to the US. Any idea of other sites accessable to people across the ocean? Thanks.

Yes, bartering books is a good idea but the problem is how much would it cost to ship books. I hope it will not be more than the price of the book itself. You have shared a good idea here. Thanks a lot for sharing this to all of us.

Since I spend too much time reading, and try not to spend too much money buying books, I have been considering joining a bookswapping site. PBS or paperbackswap, the site you are referring is one of my choices. Booksmooch is one, and I think there is another one, that I can't remember right now. Let me know how it works out for you. Is there selection vast enough? I know in some swapping sites, it gets pretty cliquish and they try to reserve the books for their friends. I would really like to hear your feedback, before I actually join.

I have been using Paperback Swap for awhile now, and I have been very happy. I have saved so much money by swapping books! I still buy things at the bookstore, but it has drastically reduced my bill. I haven't tried the DVD swap, but I may come the new year. A friend of mine recommended another site, which is very similar to Paperback Swap called Book Mooch (bookmooch.com). I went over there the other day, and decided that I would join there in the new year as well. My friend says they tend to have a better selection. On Paperback Swap, you can create wish lists, and I have had books come through. (They notify you when your book is finally available to trade, so it's good to keep some spare points.) Welcome to the Paperback Swap club! Once you start participating, you'll be hooked!

I bookmarked this site to check out more fully later.. I have just rediscover the library and then I find tons of books at yard sales during the summer.. Since I started going back to the library, I check out two books and when I return them I donate two books, so I feel as if I am recycling and doing a good deed at the same time.. I will check out this site also as I have the winter months ahead and like to read.. I rediscovered the library close to where we live when we got to do the early voting this year.. Our library had easy chairs located around a roaring fireplace, more easy chairs located towards the back of the building right in front of really huge floor to ceiling windows with the curtains opened and a gorgeous view of the woods in the back, nothing but trees, so we now visit more often and spend a good part of the day curled up in an easy chair reading.. Until one of us gets so sleepy we end up almost dozing, then we leave before they kick us out for snoring to loudly, lol.. Thanks for the site, I am sure that I will use it also..

but not staying in the asian pacific region, shipping (especially for books due to it's weight) can be quite costly is it? and also you wouldn't know the condition of the book you're receiving. but thanks anyway for the link. i might use it when i'm desperate for a certain book. =)

Thanks, for telling us about this great site for reader. But I am not into much of a reading habbits. But I will surely tell about this among my friends. I have many friends who love reading and this site might be of a great help to them. Hope to read your reply soon. Thanks Bye....

Thanks for sharing the website but unfortunately it is not open to those voracious readers like myself who are not within the USA...would have love to be a part of that site since I am a book worm

I am fastinated with this site but unfortunitly it isn't for Canadians. If I was a united states resident then I would definitly join! Have a great day

It is only offered to US citizens only. It is a pity though because I am an avid reader and will not be able to participate in it.

thanks , you have provide a greate link and its really very help full for me since I am reading addicted person so this site is really help full for me ..

There's a couple more out there as well. I rather like BookMooch.com, which is very reliable in my experience. It even allows you to maintain a wish list and notifies you if someone makes a certain book available. Excellent idea all round - I picked up a couple I was missing from my favourite author!

Thanks for sharing the site. Regards

That's great; With this way people help peole! thanks to share it!

What a great site. Thank you for sharing it with us. I am an avid reader and I have a lot of books that I've read and no longer need. Now I can get new ones in exchange for the old. Once again, thanks.

I've been a member for a couple of years, and it's a great site. I've saved a lot of money by swapping stead of buying. I keep my expenses down as much as possible by just listing paperbacks or very light hard cover books, so that they don't cost too much to ship. They have a sister site for swapping DVDs, but it's not doing too well, and I wouldn't be surprised if it shuts down eventually. I've had a very hard time finding good movies there, so I just used the last of my credits to get a couple of movies and pulled my last DVD off the site.

This site looks absolutely awesome!! Thanks for sharing the link. I LOVE reading but the cost of some of the books I would like is ridiculous...this is a great way to share knowledge of reading and cost of the books with everyone!!! I will certainly be utilizing this site and will update with the results of my first trade :)

this is good information. i have no use for books once i read them and i would never just throw them away so this is a nice option to have avaialable. thanks for letting us know.

Yes good idea.But I feel pain to sell my books.My book shelf is over loaded .However already I visited the site.Thank you for your good advice.I started a new discussion.I think you will be interested.

awesome this is sweet thnx alooot for sharing! really appreciate it happy lotting and have a nice day!
