Has anyone tried http://readitswapit.co.uk.
I've just had my first swap and it seems like a really good idea - only costs the price of 2nd class post. I've got loads of books to get rid of and this seems like a good way of getting rid of them and getting other books I've wanted.
My only criticism, at this point, is that I think it would work better with a credit/ debit system rather than straight swaps, because I've had to refuse several swaps because I didn't want any of their books, and vice versa.
Ne'mind I'm sure I'll get rid of them one day!

Re: Book swaps
I've thought about doing this so I'll definately have a look at the site. I've also wondered about doing something similar on here.
If you want rid of books have you looked at the green metropolis site?

Re: Book swaps
There is one that works on a point system I think. I have never used it but I know people who have and say it is really good. I think it is called something like book mooch but I wouldn't swear to that.

Re: Book swaps
I joined the readitswapit site yesterday and already I've done 2 swaps and I have another pending. I'm really impressed!
