Paperbackswap.com

I love, love, love paperbackswap.com You list any books you have that you no longer want. If another PBS member wants one of your books, you mail it at Media Mail rates ($1.59 for a typical paperback). You don't even have to go to the post office; instead, you can print off a wrapper that includes the recipient's name and address. You wrap the book in the wrapper, attach your stamps, and drop it in your mailbox.

Once the person receives your book, you get a PBS credit so you can get books from other nice people. (One credit=one book) You also get three credits just for joining and listing nine books.

This is such a nice service. It is easy and free! It is a great way to get rid of books you didn't like that someone else might want to read. I also use it for duplicate copies, books I bought but don't think I'll ever read, and books that I've read that no longer "fit" me. Check it out!
