I’m an avid reader, and I’m also a frugal shopper. So anytime I find a new website that save me money on books it is a great thing.

I found out about PaperBackSwap.com from The Simple Dollar.

This website is basically a huge community where you can exchange books. When you first sign-up for membership, you are asked to list nine books you want to swap. After doing this you receive three credits that you can use to request any of the one million books that are currently available.

Any time a book that you have listed gets requested, you are given a label to print out and use to wrap and mail. It’s really quite easy. I just signed up for an account and listed nine books that I don’t want anymore. Within two days I already had a request for two of them. I printed out the labels and shipped them out at the post office this morning. So now I’ve gained two more credits that I can use.

Check it out and start trading books. If you have old books laying around your house, this is a great way to reduce the clutter as well.
