Book Swap

Not the 1970s UK TV programme, but a free place for people to swap, give away or sell anything from seeds to tractors. Anything illegal or immoral will be deleted.

Book Swap

Post: # 137238Post mrsflibble »

if anyone's not read my post in the suggestions section, please go do it then come back...


right, got the idea? good.


take a book you like but don't wish to keep, post it to your partner who will in turn post a book to someone else on my list. Ideally, the book should be paperback to keep postage costs down.
Open minds should be kept as I'm not putting any preferences on the partnerships, just that you have a book you're willing to post. people recieving books will hopefully get something they've never read, give it a go and perhaps find a new genre they like.


anyone wishing to take part should sign up on this thread. I will give it another week, then pm everyone who has signed up.


i have a reminder set lol!!!

Me too!
Let us be lovely
And let us be kind
Let us be silly and free
It won't make us famous
It won't make us rich
But damn it how happy we'll be!

I would love to have a go - but - I have 2 little questions - would you allow me in as I am based in France, I would be willing to post into the UK or elsewhere in Europe if it is easier and there is someone else 'abroad' who wants to participate and then partner 'abroad' together?

And - what happens if you happen to receive a book and it is one that you have already read?
2010 is my year of projects - 365 days and 365 projects.
