Is read more on your New Year's Resolution list?


I have been a member for a year now, and this is a great club! It is a way to get new books without paying the retail price. To get started, you post 7 books. This will give you 3 credits. Most books take 1 credit. If someone requests your book, you will be notified, and you will print a wrapper with the recipients address on it, and the media mail postage rate. (Most books can be mailed media mail for $1.59). You pay the postage to send the book. When the book is received, you will be notified, and you receive a credit. To request a book, you just browse through the hundreds of thousands of titles (you can search by Title, Author, or Genre), and then click to request. When you request the book, you forfeit a credit. That's all their is to it!

After a year in the club, I can say that I have never gotten a book that was substandard...most are like new condition. I had one book lost in the mail...it was one I was sending to someone else, so I ended up requesting it from someone else, and sending another copy...which I didn't have to do, but I wanted to. Other than that, I have gotten $200.00 worth of books for not alot, and have gotten rid of many books, that otherwise would just be sitting on a shelf, or going to a garage sale.

So, try out this site...you won't be sorry!
