This site is incredible! I posted 65 books yesterday and today I'm going to the post office to ship out 20 of them!


I recently swapped for "Surrealists and Surrealism 1919-1939"--a beautiful art book with illustrations on every page, including many in dazzling color. I wrote to the woman who sent it, saying, 'Thank you so much--I've been slowly working up to a full-out immersion in Surrealism, and this is exactly the book I need at this moment. Nice condition for a large paperback, too!'

She wrote back and said she'd used it in one of her art classes in college: 'I did love that book, I just think it's gorgeous. It makes me very glad to have found it a good home. I hope it brings you much joy as you learn all about the history of such an exciting art period.'

What a great feeling, to hear that!

This is what the Book Swap is all about. PaperBackSwap.com is more than barter: it's community. It's about taking off the shelf a book that's given you fun reading, long looking, things to learn--a book you still cherish. You're ready, though, to share your book with someone else--someone who's as eager as you were, to dive into it with brand-new enthusiasm--until they, too, have spent enough time with it, to pass it on to the next person.
