BOOKMOOCH - Who Says Nothing Worth Having Is Free?
Posted January 16th, 2008 in Activism, All, Books, Entertainment, Our Favorite Sites and Take a look...
We here at the Basement believe strongly that one can never have enough books.
So when we found bookmooch.com, we were both uber-thrilled and a little skeptical. The idea behind the site is simple: give away books you’ve finished in order to receive books you haven’t read yet. But can you really get something for nothing?
At least this once, the answer is yes. After using this site for several months, we’re ready to recommend it. All membership requires is (free) registration, which they do not seem to sell to advertisers. To start getting free books in the mail, all you have to do is list 10 books that you are willing to send via mail to someone else. After that, every book you list is worth one book you may receive. There are no timeframes (though there are standards of politeness which are to your benefit). The only cost involved is whatever you pay to ship your books out when another member mooches them.
We love nothing better than free information, unless it’s free information and entertainment. If you’re interested in the details click here and start spreadin’ the love around. Get that new thriller you’ve been meaning to check out, or sign your local library or kids’ school up for free books!
