I think I've mentioned this before but it's a great book swapping site which Jobo introduced me to a couple of years ago. You can see it here. I have been on it since then tho I have phases when I get fed up with it and take my books off Laughing

but am on at the moment and having lots of fun as it is far bigger now so lots more books to choose from.

It basically works by you uploading your books - very easy and quick to do by just typing in the ISBN and adding a bit about the condition of each book - then off you go. All you pay is 2nd class post. I've had some great stuff!!!

Thank you for this Pictish - I'm going to have a sort out, find some books to list and register. It will also be handy for DD, she reads like it is going out of fashion (not that I'm complaining).

I havent used the site for ages now, I felt bad about declining people's offers so ended up with books I didnt really want. Laughing

I think you have to be quite tough and say No when someone offers you a swap you are not interested in Cool

I know what you mean Jo!!! Some people just don't bother replying tho Shocked

I always get back quickly whatever I decide.

It does have it's downside - when you first list you sometimes get inundated for a day or so then it all goes quiet Wink
