Description:

So, do you ever look at your bookshelf and think "I really need to clean this up a bit"? Well, here is your chance! In this swap you will take a flat rate box (or any box) from the post office and fill it with books you have read or don't want any longer. The books should be in good to very good condition, paperback or hard cover, fiction and non-fiction, and you should include at least 5 to meet the requirement. Only send books you think someone would want to read - no old textbooks and no children's literature. Stuff that box as full as you can ( add a few extras from your partner's profile for hearts!!!) and take it to the post office. Pay the $8.95 (or use media mail if you'd like) to ship it and then go to your favoite bookstore and buy yourself a cup of coffee and something new to fill the empty space you've left behind! This swap is open to newbies if you have a full profile. Due to shipping costs it is USA only.

Great swap, but I don't have a box full to pass on at the moment. Maybe in summer I'll have more to share. If you post this one again then, I'll try to join later.

WIsh I saw this swap before I cleaned out my bookshelves. I donated lots of books to the library recently. Well, I'm still cleaning, if I find enough books to fill a box I'm going to join. Wish me luck

just wanted to add that most of the books i have read and want to swap are romance novels not sure if this is going to make a difference to someone.

Man, I just got rid of boxes and boxes full of books, but I think that I still have enough left to do this. I hope that I have enough anyway.

Wow....if only I'd seen this one on time...booksbooksbooks galore over here...though I usually hang on to most of them....I love swapping the ones I'm willing to part with or have dupes of.

Great Job with this swap!!!
