BookMooch, Give books away. Get books you want.

Do you or someone in your family read a lot? Do you have books you you want to get rid of but don’t want to throw away? You might want to try BookMooch. This is a great site for trading used books. Its simple to use and effective for helping you keep your reading fresh and making sure your used books go to good use.  We have been putting our used books in inventory for months now and have given away 17 books and mooched 6. 

The only cost to you is in the postage for sending out books that people mooch from you.  With US Postage media rates it typically costs a couple of dollars to send a sizable book. And if you are lucky enough to get several books mooched from the same person at the same time, the cost per book goes down a lot. 

Recently I’ve been sending books to a local Illinois public library which is building their Japanese Manga collection.  This is a great way to get rid of both your own books and your kids books they have outgrown.  And if you have a lot of books to place in inventory, you can even donate some of your points to charity.

Here is a sampling of books in my inventory:
