Fantasy no-cost book swap

[shootingstar]

Wish there was a no-cost way of doing book swap occasionally or selling it super cheap at times when I feel like it. 'Cause I have a collection of travelogue books, some are cycling-oriented that I know folks here might appreciate.

And I know these books are no longer print/hardly available as new now. There some I want to keep again to reread...which I've done for some.

Maybe this will give you extra incentive to visit Vancouver... :p:D

There is always Paperback Book Swap if you want a cheap way to exchange books with people :

I LOVE Paperback swap. Sure it costs the price of postage - around $2-$3, but it's so much cheaper than buying new books and I rarely have trouble finding the books I need. DVD swap on the other hand is not for me.

I use Bookmooch -- very similar service. I have gotten tons of books and have sent out an equivalent number for $2-3 each. Not completely free because of the media mail postage, but a bargain. Another nice feature -- you can easily upload your Amazon wishlist into it, and they'll automatically notify you when/if books your list are offered by other moochers!

Shootingstar-I'm happy to do a bookswap with ya. Would you like to read Long Way For A Pie by Tim Mullner. It's his story of riding from London back home to NZ.

Good suggestions so far!

Also check out BookCrossing meetups in Vancouver. You can find them on the Meetup.com web site (and you should look up BookCrossing, too! it's fun).

Oh, and PulpFiction bookstores buy for store credit, which I think is a good concept. (They also buy for money, but only a limited amount every day.)
