Trade books for about $2 on BookMooch.com
BookMooch.com is a Web site that facilitates the (nearly) free trading of books between readers, similar to PaperBackSwap.com, which I blogged about recently.
You type in the books you want to give away, then you put in requests for the books you want. Meanwhile, you receive requests from other members. Joining is free. You only pay the mailing cost to send books out.
For every book you list you receive a tenth-of-a-point. Each time you give away one book you get a whole point, or three points if you mail it abroad. Receiving a books costs 1 point, or 2 points if it was sent from abroad.
To keep receiving books, you need to give away at least one book for every three you receive. Read more about how the points system works.
Browse books by topic, language or location on this page. My Dad uses the site and has been happy with it. Thanks, Dad!

Couple of differences between the two.... PaperbackSwap.com is huge w/ tons of members... which means lots of selection. However, BookMooch is international so you may end up finding/shipping books overseas.
