Free Books and How to Get Them

I liked the idea that Swap (formerly Swaptree) could search its members and arrange a three-way trade so each of us got the book we had listed on on WANT LIST. There were no points to keep track of and all I had to do was pay for the postage to mail out the book I was swapping. Update: There is now a small fee charged for each swap to cover administrative costs. Since I was already a member, my charge per swap is 25 cents.

To start out, I listed a few titles I wanted and a few that I had to swap. In my first trade, I sent an Ann Rule paperback to someone in New Jersey. They sent their book to someone in Mississippi, who then sent the book I requested to me in Florida. I loved the book, Riding the Bus with My Sister, but now I've finished it and can add it to the HAVE LIST to get a new trade.

The more books you list, the more likely that you will get one you want.
