JRW_4187I’m an avid reader. Anything and everything in print I will read and probably have. I recently bumped into a really cool site that lets you swap books for just a couple bucks or even FREE! I’m seriously into free. I’m also seriously into clearing clutter and lets face it, books take up a lot of room. If you live in a small space like I do, I actually prefer smaller spaces, then you should check out this PaperBackSwap.

PaperBackSwap is a free online book exchange service. You create an account on the site and create a list of any books you’re looking to swap. Books are swapped through snail mail. The magic number is nine, list nine books and the site gives you three credits to “buy” books that other people have listed.

What Do I Do With a Credit?

Credits are freebies on shipping. Once you list nine books you’re willing to swap, you receive three credits. You can then search the site for a book you’re interested in and use the credit to “buy” it. Once you receive the book in the mail you go online and mark it as received. The person who sent the book then receives a credit and they can “buy” a used book of their choice.

You get a credit each time someone receives a book that they have requested from your list and the cycle goes on and on.
