book swap

I just found a really good website called readitswapit.co.uk and thought it would be good to spread the word.

    Can anyone give me a rough idea on postage costs? (obviously I know it depends on size & weight of the book :o) I've had a look but am wondering whether cost of postage makes this very money-saving?

    How much does it cost to post a book?

    Most paperbacks of around 300 pages or less will cost only 90p to post (second class with Royal Mail). Larger paperbacks, or hardbacks, may cost up to £1.63.
    You can find a full range of postal charges at the Royal Mail website. Remember that most paperbacks will weigh less than 500 grams. You can also buy stamps online and print your own postage.


    hope that helps :)
