| 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.

| 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. |

| 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! |
