I dont think you can search under names, only book titles which is a downside.

I agree, would be handy if you could look to see what other books a swapper has before you decide who to swap with. Cheaper to send a couple at a time. Maybe we should suggest it. Great Idea tho, I spend a fortune on books.

Fibabe what have you swapped? I think I have swapped with a similar name is it you???

I have emailed suggesting it would be a good idea to be able to search through the actual item description.

I asking to be able to search user name as if you have a book I want, and agree to the swop, I might want to look at your library and suggest another swop or two at the same time saving postage.
I have already sent out about 12 books and had 8 back! 4 more due any day. Great site.

perhaps they could have forums as well so people could ask for the sort of books they want!

Does anyone think it is necessary to put what condition the book is in? A few of mine are slightly dog eared but still good, but is there any point in putting that? I mean, we're swapping not selling.....opinions please!

If I am looking for a book and a few people have it, I will always choose the one that tells me what condition its in...... would rather know I was getting a slightly dog eared copy than take the chance of getting one with the pages falling out!!

I always put an honest description of mine and tend to go for people who also list the condition as well. It doesn't put me off swapping for a book with a less than perfect description, I'd just rather now what I'm getting.

I always put the condition in. I wish theyd have that as an option when youre listing. If Im doing a search on a title & theres several listed the condition would definitely influence my decision on which one to choose

Cool, thanks for the feedback, I'll put some details of condition on, although I seem to be doing ok so far, listed 21 books on Friday night and have got 8 swaps to post today!!
