Books on a Budget

I just wanted to pass along a tip on a website I regularly use. It's called PaperBackSwap.com. Paperback Swap is a way to feed your reading frenzy without incurring the expense of purchasing new books. It is a highly recommended site that does as implied; it allows you to swap books with other readers on any genre.

Of course the best way to save money on books is to go to the library, but I like to keep some of my books since I regularly return to some of my old treasures for reference. But the good thing about Paperback is that once you do finish a book, you can relist it on the site for availability to other members.

The cost to you? The initial posting of six books that you no longer want. That starts you off with two points with which you can request two books. After that you only pay the cost of mailing a book requested by a member at media mail book rate. Ultimately the typical cost to mail each book is less than $2.50. Is that a deal or what?

So when you want to sample some of the financial books out there or any other books of interest, check out www.paperbackswap.com.
