Some books are worth parking on your bookshelf forever. Others, not so much. If you want to swap books with someone else for free (except postage), try http://www.bookins.com/. Here's how it works: You get 15 points just for signing up, then more points for every book posted that someone else wants to grab. Points are assigned according to a book's age and original cost. An old Danielle Steel book might be 3 points; The Da Vinci Code audiobook, on 13 cds, is 27.
Bookins is not the only swap site out there (others are ReadersUnited.com and PwerBackSwap.com). Bookins is nice because the only cost is for the book's recipient - a flat $3.99 for postage and delivery confirmation. The shipper can print a mailing label at home. It is actually more postage than you need for sending most books, but it beats standing in line at the post office.
