Re: Paperback Swap
My library is a 5 minute drive, not so bad. They remember me and know that when i walk in to grab the books and movies I have on hold. I used to be in there at least 2 x's a week. But lately, things have picked up and I don't have the time like before (READ: then was winter, this is now nice, get out of the house weather) so I go in every other week now.

Re: Paperback Swap
Anyone that has paperback swap accounts, feel free to buddy with me. Same name here as there (and almost everywhere else, lol). Maybe I have a book you want and vice versa!

I have been on a weather kick lately( bought one of those personal weather stations with all the wireless sensors) and PBS has a wealth of books dealing with weather. I probably saved over $100 in the last few days.

Re: Paperback Swap
Paperbackswap was one of the original batch of BzzAgent's FrogPond sites. I can honestly say that it's the one and only Frog site I've ever actually liked and still use.
I've swapped almost 80 books at PBS since joining and have gotten some really hard to find and out of print titles. It's saved me a ton of money and gotten rid of a bunch of books that I bought ages ago that I no longer am enthralled with.
No decent public library around these parts, so I have to depend on my own resources to fuel my reading. It's a shame too, because when I lived in the Midwest I depended on my libraries and used them constantly.
Oh, and if a book you mail or one mailed to you disappears in the postal book-eater, PBS will credit you back with your book credit with no hassles. I wish brick-and-mortar stores were as easy to deal with.
If only the rest of the FrogPond's sites were as useful!

Re: Paperback Swap
I have been using PBS for quite a while now.....it has a lot of features that I like. I also use www.frugalreader.com. Same idea but it does NOT work on a FIFO method for exchanging books. You can select the condition of the book you are requesting and from which member you want to request the book.
If you want to sign up for Frugal Reader you could reference my name on the site during your enrollment and I will get credits when you list your books! My name on that site is "tgbouldin".
For PBS, you can just click this link.

I hope it is okay to put this on the board. If not, please feel free to delete it!!!

Re: Paperback Swap
Can you believe it? I finally signed up for this! Put up some books that I had set aside for a garage sale - you know, the one that never happens!
I ordered 2 books that were on my Amazon Wish List.

Re: Paperback Swap
Well crap, someone requested a book. I'm sort of lost. Do I need to print a wrapper from the website? Is the persons address on it when I print?

Re: Paperback Swap
OK, I printed the wrapper and attached the suggested postage. Do you think it's safe to mail it, or should I take it to the post office and double check their estimate?

Re: Paperback Swap
I officially have the hang of this. I got another request for a book and it's the last one I thought would be taken. Also got a PM from someone who will be sending me one of the books I requested, and she's the author. Wanted to know if I would like her to sign it before she mails it. Um...yeah!
