BookMooch.com - International Book Exchange

"BookMooch is a community for exchanging used books.

BookMooch lets you give away books you no longer need in exchange for books you really want.
• Give & receive: Every time you give someone a book, you earn a point and can get any book you want from anyone else at BookMooch. Once you've read a book, you can keep it forever or put it back into BookMooch for someone else, as you wish.
• No cost: there is no cost to join or use this web site: your only cost is mailing your books to others.
• Points for entering books: you receive a tenth-of-a-point for every book you type into our system, and one point each time you give a book away. In order to keep receiving books, you need to give away at least one book for every five you receive.
• Help charities: you can also give your points to charities we work with, such as children's hospitals (so a sick kid can get a free book delivered to their bed), Library fund, African literacy, or to us to thank us for running this web site ."

BookMooch is on top of its game. Its points system is more effective than say, finding like, mutual exchanges which can take time. The fact that it's international means book lovers everywhere can access titles that they might not have in their home country. The charity aspect is also a nice touch. All in all this is a book exchange that's worth your time.

The points system, as it gets into fractions, may be confusing to some. Is there any guarantee, if a book is never sent or gets lost in the mail? Can users upload photos of their books?
