Description:

Sometimes books will make you fall for them once you read the first page and then you're hooked and can't put it down.

For this swap you will write or type the FIRST page of 16 books. It's ok if the first page is only a couple paragraphs. This will be a semi-long swap. You will have 3 months to complete it. This will be a great swap for those who read books like crazy :D

Because people have been asking, I will allow photocopies of the pages as long as the words are CLEAR and LEGIBLE.

  • Make sure you include the title and author of the book

  • Along with the pages you will include a brief explanation of whether you liked or didn't like the book and why.

You can go ahead and start on this swap to get a head start.

Rating is set to 4.97, no recent 1's since the beginning of the year. I will be checking profiles! No newbies, sorry.

Don't forget to include the swap name & your user name. This will be for USA only. If someone would like to create an international version only, you are more than welcome to.

Hope you like the idea and decide to join. And who knows maybe you'll like the book once you read the first page and decide to read it :)

DO NOT SEND BEFORE OCTOBER 24

PLEASE READ! EDIT: Some have mentioned if they can send before October 24. If your partner says it's ok with them receiving before Oct 24 then you may go ahead and send it. The reason I said do not send before october 24 was because I know some people take longer to read books.

Happy Swapping!!

What about xeroxing the first page?

Artfreak16 06/29/2016 #

Unless you can get a really good clear copy of the page I'd rather not have people copy the page becuase sometimes towards the middle of the page near the spine the words get smooshed together and its difficult to read.

Can we use a notebook? I dont want to accidentally loose any pages. I am thinking composition if thats ok with the host?

Artfreak16 06/30/2016 #

You are more than welcome to use a notebook :)

I'll join, but only if clear photocopies are allowed.

Artfreak16 07/ 5/2016 #

@Artistic -i will allow photocopies as long as you can get a clear copy of the page

junemoon 08/ 9/2016 #

Clear photocopies are not difficult -- you have to be sure to press the book down firmly on the machine surface.

I totally have my whole package finished and waiting to be mailed. hahahaha. I loved this swap and October 24th is going to be a long time getting here.

Artfreak16 08/10/2016 #

@junemoon Sometimes some people don't press down hard enough or move it while it's being scanned and the words get blurred.

Momskii 08/19/2016 #

I'm willing to receive long before October 24th. I am almost done, I just have to put it all together.

junemoon 10/ 6/2016 #

It seems to me one can always mail even the day after partners are assigned, if you have the whole swap completed. Why wait?

Artistic 11/ 3/2016 #

A packet went out to my partner today. I had a lot of fun with this. Enjoy!

Artfreak16 11/11/2016 #

I'm extending the deadline for this swap. New deadline is Nov. 23

CraftyMommaonaBUDGET 11/11/2016 #

HannahEnilk 11/25/2016 #
