    If you're like me and have tonnes of books lieing around and think it's not worth flogging them on ebay, why not swap them for books that you want.

    I found this link in one of the weekend papers and I thought I'd give it a try.

    Read It Swap It is free to use, all you have to do is list the books you're offering to swap, and set up a wishlist of books you'd like (although you don't have to do this bit.) If someone wants a book you're offering, they'll send you a swap request, you then look at their list and if there's a book you'd like you can choose to swap or turn the request down. Or you can browse for books and ask for a swap. It only costs the p+p of you sending the book.

    I registered today and I've already swapped 2 books - fingers crossed the swap goes smoothly ;)

    I've been a member for ages and it's a great site.
    A waist is a terrible thing to mind.
  • I've been a member for ages, too ;) I'll move this to the Green and Ethical board where there's already a thread on Recycling books :D

    There is also a site called Green Metropolis. You sell your book for 3.00 and only add postage if your book is bigger than your standard paperback. You can save your money and buy books from other people if you like or have it transfered into your bank.
