Paper Back Swap
I have found a new place to get my book fix: Paper Back Swap! When you join (membership is free) you list your paperback (or even hardcover) books on the site. Every time you list a book, you get one credit. When you mail a book out, you also receive one credit. Members can request your books and you can request books from other members (each request is one credit).
The best part is that you can print a mailing label and wrapper right from the site. Print the wrapper, tape it around your book and take it to the post office to mail. They even tell you how much shipping should be attached. You can also sign up for their postage program and print the postage right from the website.
There are tons of different books to choose from. Fiction, non-fiction, history, dieting, prescriptions and diet pills, history and more! You can sort by books posted most recently and can even read and post member reviews.
As long as you are willing to part with your paperbacks, this program is a lot cheaper than buying new books all the time. Your cost is the cost of postage to the requesting member (which averages about $2.25 per book) and books mailed to you are free!

Our leaders recommend that site to new brokers who may not have much money to invest in self development.

This is fantastic!! The idea of swapping books even with random strangers who share the same interests is really cool. I might start a CD swap site as inspired by this.

girl scout leader looking for a great swap other than the usual flag swap, which in my opinion… Well you could have the girls make different food from other countries
