Ok, now I have three more gone, and seven more waiting for the people's credits to confirm. I am SO excited! I ordered two free ones just for joining and now I can order several more as soon as these arrive at their new owners! I am trying to finish out all the Beverly Lewis series that I only have random parts of.

Cool! I am so happy I shared the info, it has been a real money-saver and also it is fun! (yes, I am a nerd!)

I can't wait to join and do some swapping.

ok, I'd never heard of this before, I'll be checking it out - I have one obvious question that is probably stupid but is this literally for "paperbacks" only?

Blubayou · #**475** 12-04-2008, 11:37 AM

That is a good question, because I buy hardbacks sometime.

I buy hardbacks all the time

and I have a ton of books I'd love to swap. I joined, I'll add books later

Is PBS only for paperback books?
No.
We started out as a site just for paperbacks, hence the name. But hardcover books and audio books are swapped here just as commonly as paperbacks. If it's a book (and not an Advanced Reader Copy) and it is in good condition, it can be swapped here!

Allowed:
Paperback books
Hardcover books (dust jackets not required)
Audio books (must be originals, not burned copies)
Ex-library books
Books with accompanying media
Textbooks/Workbooks
Foreign-language books (if in a language other than English, the language must be specified in the book description)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Not allowed:
Anything that is not a book (this includes calendars, coloring books, blank journals)
Anything that contains advertising
Advance Reader Copies (also known as ARC s, Review Copies or Uncorrected Proofs--these are not the final versions of books)
CD-ROM books/e-books (books that must be read on a computer)
Burned copies of audio books
Xerox or otherwise unoriginal copies of books
Unbound pages
leaflets or pamphlets or booklets* without ISBNs (other members complain at spending a credit for these)
Books that require supplementary non-media materials (non-media materials cannot be sent by MediaMail)
Pornography (sex manuals and erotica are allowed, hardcore pornography is not allowed)
*A leaflet/pamphlet is an item with fewer than 20 pages; a booklet is an item with between 20 and 50 pages that is not a children's book. Children's books often have less than 50 pages and are not considered booklets just because of their short pagelength.

Sorry, I was actually having to do some "work", I hate it when that gets in the way! LOL!

As you have already discovered, PBS accepts all forms of books!
