A few days ago I discovered my new favorite web site: Paperbackswap.com. If you read at all you should sign up and then add me as your buddy. Here’s how it works:
- Pick out all the books you don’t want anymore (they don’t have to be paperbacks)
- Post them on the site
- People request your books, you print out a label, wrap the books and mail them to the requestors
- You get a credit for each book you send out, and with them you can request books for yourself!
So basically you are getting books for the cost of media mail shipping ($2-3/book, depending on the book size). Plus, you get packages in the mail! How fun is that? They also have audio books available. You know you want to do it!
