Book swapping.
Hello, just wanted to mention a goodbook site my wife has just found.
readitswapit

She lists her books & people arrange to swap them for others that she chooses from others swaps, all they have to do is post them to eachother.

She's well chuffed with it.

Does anyone else here use it?

Re: Book swapping.
OK cheers Mick, I'll show that one to her later.

She has just swapped loads of books all for the cost of the postage, she's well chuffed.
But I'm sure she is going to be pleased to find out about another.

Re: Book swapping.
AH, looking at Micks linked site it's apparent that you buy & sell books on there, not swap them.
So you pay more (including postage) fr you books whereas readitswapit is just a swapping site so does not cost as much.

I'll still show her later.

You buy the book for £3:75 including postage then after reading you sell for £3:75 so it works out free
