How to Get Free Books

The library is a wonderful source of books, but when you want to build your own collection, there are better places than the bookstore to go looking.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Internet
• Used books

1. 

   Gather up the books that you own and no longer wish to retain.

2. Join Paperbackswap.com. The registration is very simple.

3. 

   List your books on paperbackswap.com.

4. Request books with the two free requests that you get just for listing your first ten books!

5. Mail books when they are requested, and earn tokens to request more books for yourself.

6. Read and relist books that you don't want to keep.

7. Buy tokens if you ever run out of

Tips & Warnings

• Buy tokens if you run out of requests and find a book that you would love to own.
• Look into options like the box-o-books if you are a more voracious reader.
• Tell your friends! The more books that are listed, the more you can read for only the cost of shipping your own books out.
