I can’t say enough good things about Paperbackswap! I have mailed out 250 books and received about 232. So (yay!) I actually decreased the number of books around here, if only by a little bit.
Even better is the money I have saved, as at least 75 of those books were books I “turned around” on PBS. And I used it to obtain a lot of the required reading material for my son’s Honors and AP English classes.
It’s a great site! check it out if you love to read!

I’ve been a member of PBS for one year now, and I have to say it is a great site!
In my first year, I have mailed out156 books and received 120. quite a few fo the ones I received were for my son’s literature class in high school. He liked having his own copied of the books they were reading.
Great great site! You should try it if you haven’t already!

It’s been just about six months since I joined Paperbackswap.com. In that time, I’ve mailed out 82 books and received 69 new ones. Not one single transaction has gotten lost in the mail ( I’ve got my fingers crossed!). Lately I’ve been using the site to get the books which are required reading for my son’s English class. I really can’t say enough good things about paperbackswap.com. If you haven’t tried it yet and you love to read, you shoudl definitely check it out!

in three months. Today is the three month anniversary of signing up for paperbackswap.com, and I just mailed out my 43rd book. And I’ve received over 30 books.
This site is great! Not only am I able to pass along books I’ve read, but I can get a hold of the new ones I want to read.
If you are an avid reader, I highly recommend you check out their site!

Today I mailed out my tenth book to another member of Paperbackswap.com. I signed up for the site on march 22, which was only 20 days ago!
So far I have received four books in the program, and they have all been in very good condition. I am so excited to have found this swapping site, because I am so glad to know that the books I have read are going to a new home where someone wants to read them.
This is so much better than selling them at a garage sale or taking them to Goodwill! Also, I am accumulating one credit for each book mailed for me to use in the future when I get caught up on my reading.

I think that I got an account at PaperBackSwap.com about 10 days ago. Wow, since then I have mailed out 5 books, and requested 4 books. Three of the books that I’ve mailed out have been received, and I have received two of the books I’ve requested so far.
I don’t think I will be doing business with my local used bookstore again. The convenience and organization of Paperbackswap.com is amazing! You can even request books that are not currently listed, and as soon as someone else posts the book, you receive an e-mail.
To challenge myself to keep cleaning out my old books, I’m going to keep this item on my “To Do” list until I’ve mailed out 10 books. But at the rate I’m going, that should only take another week or two!
If you devour paperbacks like I do ( one or two a week), I highly recommend you check out PaperBackSwap.com.

I just signed up for PaperBackSwap.com today, listed 11 books, and already one has been requested. Since the main objective here is to find a new home for stuff I have read, I am thrilled! What an awesome site!
