PaperBackSwap.com - New Books on My Shelf at PBS!
Friday, December 21, 2007 at 02:16PM
I don't know how or why I managed to do this today, our first day of winter break with the kids home from school, but I cleared a shelf of books I have been meaning to get out of the house, because, really, I have enough books I want to keep and can't find space for, than to have all of these others hanging around, gathering dust...
I've mentioned PaperbackSwap.com before, but I have to bring it up again, because it is so easy: It took me less than 15 minutes to load in the ISBN numbers for 30 books, to put them on my shelf at PaperBackSwap.com. By the time I finished, 7 of the 30 were already on hold, to send out to other PBS members. I send the books out, and pay for shipping (Media Mail, usually about $2), and then I get a credit when the book is received, so I can go shopping for new (used) books to replace all these I am finally getting rid of -- it's a vicious cycle, as far as de-cluttering, isn't it?
Still, it's a great system. Check it out:
