I was reading this and wondering if anyone else here has tried finding a book they want on Bookmooch.com ?? You can exchange books for just the cost of you shipping to it the person who wants what you listed.
When you request a book (Mooch it) and it is accepted, you get the book for free. There are all kinds of books on there. I listed some of the quilting books I no longer cared for on there and they were snapped up!
I recommend it for anyone who can't do Amazon's prices or is looking for a "collectible" book. There is a Wish List for ones you can't find but are willing to wait for.
PS Maybe we could set up a book and pattern exchange? Or just lending? Just an idea.
