Paperbackswap.com - so awesome

I had mentioned in a previous post (http://kathichelle.com/musings_detail.asp?MusingID=222) that I was going to try a new book swapping site. I have tried it for just over a month and it is my new addiction. I love it, love it, love it! I've easily gotten rid of books that were taking up space on my bookshelves and have gotten soooo many great books. I can't tell you how impressed I am. Even the quality of the books are fabulous. Mine were all in pristine condition, so I was a little worried about trading my like-new books for ones that look like Mike had read them in the pre-Kathy era. * But, aside from one mass-market paperback book with a bit of a wear mark exactly where you would rest your thumb on the cover, they have all been in exactly the same condition that I would have left them in. It is so exciting and awesome and you should try it too. I can't wait to relax with a couple on the trip out to Australia and back. * Note - Mike caused my book-loving heart to hurt when I saw that he would bend the book in half to read it. *ack* That is never, ever done and took me forever with big heavy dictionaries to try and save their little spines. Here is the cartoon that he sent me that made him think of that time: http://xkcd.com/280/
