How do you use this forum? It's for people who want to swap books, and was created because most book sites don't let people swap ARCs (Advance Reader Copies). If you want to use a site that swaps with credits instead of a forum, I suggest paperbackswap.com.
If you have a book that you want to get rid of, you must post the message in the correct forum with the subject "To Swap: Title by Author." If you don't have a particular book (but want something in particular) to swap, you must post the message in the correct forum (meaning: if it's an ARC of a children's book, post it under Children's Books>> ARCs) with the subject "Wanted: Title by Author." All books must be mailed by USPS media mail within 2-3 weeks of arranging the swap. Contact the other member when you mail his or her book and when you recieve your book. Everyone pays for their own shipping. If you want to do an international swap, you'll have to contact the person with the book and arrange shipping methods.
When posting a book, it must be in this format:
WANTED or TO SWAP
Title:
Author:
Condition: (post both type and condition here, like 'Excellent condition paperback book)
Summary/Review: (from the back of the book or from amazon.com, and, optionally, if you read it, what you thought of it)
Willing to swap for: (list titles and authors of books you have if it's a wanted post, or books you want if it's a post of a book you have. You could also post a genre, or just be open to suggestions. The books don't have to be of the same age level as the one you're posting, or the same type, if two members agree (paperback for ARC or something would be okay, or, if you post a hardcover book, you could ask for two paperback books...Just figure it out with the person you're swapping with!)
Email: (DON'T post like "username@emailaddresses.com"; post it as
"username at emailaddresses dot com" so it's harder to get spammed)
Additional links/info: (optional. Can be author website, page on amazon, etc.)
