Free paperback books:
From DUer lildreamer316


Found a place to get free paperback books......
Free paperbacks Great Trading site!

Swap Your Paperback Books - PaperBackSwap.com

http://www.paperbackswap.com/index.php?r_by=sherry

(If the link does not work, please just cut & paste - if asked for the person that referred you, please enter Sherry ) Thanks!

If you like to read, I've discovered a GREAT site where you trade paperbacks. You just have to list 9 books you are willing to send out when requested by other members. For this you get 3 credits, which you can use to order any books. The person mailing the books pays for shipping (usually $1.42 media mail rate). For every book you send out, you receive a credit (and can order a book). There are a lot of other nice touches at the website also, such as a wishlist for books you want that are not available, when they become available they are sent to you, a TBR (to be read) list where you can keep track of your books, reader forums, etc.

2. I joined about a month ago, and already have a big pile to be read,
and 8 more in transit to me. I LOVE PBS.

3. I'm happy to hear this has been successful for you!
I just ripped the site off another forum, but will be sure to investigate further. I'm drowning in books, read and unread, and there's so many more out there! Now, if only I could pry myself away from DU! But this is reading, too, right? :)
