I found this site at just the right time. School was ending and I had recieved the summer reading list from my son's school. I found a couple of book trading sites, but the post 10 books and recieve credits for swapping at PaperBackSwap.com convinced me to try this site. Within 2 weeks I had 2 of the 3 books my son needed for summer reading and it had cost me nothing! I was so excited I suggested the site to a number of other moms.
Since joining at the end of May, I have sent 3 books and recieved 3 books. The process is simple, you post books you are willing to part with, you recieve an email when another member has requested a book. Mail the book and recieve credit when the book is recieved. I have chosen to print book wrappers from the site, wrap the books and stop at the post office when I am running errands. I have recieved books from other members in mailers, the choice is yours. If you are so inclined you can purchase postage from the site and never have to visit a post office.
The one downside I see is that it is expensive to purchase credits. Purchasing book credits is more expensive than the postage necessary to send most books, but it is still a bargain compared to retail.
I have only been a member for a short time, but so far I like PaperBackSwap.com
