I can look at 300,000 bookshelves
The internet crystalized. PBS or Paperbackswap.com has come up with an old idea and crystalized it using the best points of the Internet to its advantage. Everybody reads. Everybody buys a few books. Everybody has a few books your finished with, and they sit on a shelf and gather dust. PBS has made it so I can look at 300,000 bookshelves and pick the book you don’t want anymore. You get Credit for a book on anyone of those 300,000 book shelves. Its a fantastic deal. I’ve saved close to 2,000 dollars over the past 4 years. Shake the dust off your old and new books, and get want you want to read for the price of postage. This service is free, but they say someday they might charge a yearly fee. I’d pay it. This is one system that really works! Check it out, oh and tell them Doctorslime sent you, I’ll get a free referral credit.

Wonderful place
It is a place where you can swap paperbacks, hardbacks or audiobooks (doesn't have to be with the same person) free, just have to pay postage. Wonderful place to make friends as well as trade your books for books you really want! I have rec'd some really precious books that I'll keep to cherish.
