Check out BookMooch.com for free book swapping!

www.BookMooch.com is a new & fast growing site where people can swap used books -- it's free!

In brief:

• you create an inventory of books you want to give away (and get 1/10 of a point for each book added to your inventory)
• browse other peoples' inventories, looking for books or create a wishlist - you'll be notified of matches on books from your wishlist
• if someone requests ('mooches') a book, you get 1 point for sending it
• if you mooch a book, 1 point is subtracted from your total

Those are the basics, but there's quite a bit more: you can donate points to charity, for example. You'll find FAQs and Reader Forums on the site, plus full directions.

It's free to join. BookMooch is the brainchild of a Berkeley fellow who felt that books shouldn't just sit around - they should be shared. I've cleared up quite a bit of bookshelf space -- I had no room for anything current. Now I've got lots of points to use on books I want!
