Is a 'book barn' a brand? I'll google it.

Ah. Bristol and Somerset. I'm in London - it would cost more in petrol!

Came across this site, which searches through a load of different book chains, including Abebooks, Amazon and Blackwell's to find the cheapest deal: http://www.bookkoob.co.uk/

Or even cheaper... try https://www.readitswapit.co.uk
I haven't yet, but mean to.
All you do is put a list of what books you've got on it, then either someone will ask you for a swap of something they have, or you browse and approach someone else who will then have a look at your list to see if there's anything they want.
All you pay is the postage, apparently...
And it's greener...
I must get round to doing my list......

Hi, I have been using https://www.readitswapit.co.uk for the last 3 months or so and have found it to be great. I have had a few slow posts but mostly it works fine. It has a feedback system much like eBay so you have some idea of who you are swapping with and a pretty good forum where you can see what type of people are swapping - mostly good folks - so I would heartily recommend it. When you list your books and put in an ISBN number it automatically lists the details from amazon so it is really easy after that. It also gives you the exact postage costs based on the weight of the book so it couldn't be much easier really. Give it a go...
