I like to keep my books.
Even after I read them.
Although I don't mind losing the paperbacks that I don't find particularly interesting, I tend to keep most until I can find a suitable hardback replacement.
Owned from new!!! :D [/b][/quote]Quote:

I have books from 1902. Leather bound. I love them.
Cheeky bar steward.
I'm only 76.
Curley, tell us your favourite five books then we can tell what you like. ;)
Good idea, maybe i'll start a seperate thread for that since no-one seems interested in the idea :)
The idea has some merit for ppl in same countries
postage is usually paid by weight.
I give my 2nd hand books to a psychiatric hospital ,salvation army may also be
an idea?
I do give the books that I can't sell on amazon to charity. I was actually trying to create a comminity between us book lovers by making it easy to get rid of books we don't want, while knowing that other members will have benefited.
Anyway, it was only an idea & I didn't expect anything to come of it, I just wanted peoples views.
Curley, here via your link in signature.
The book swapping is a alluring idea but I can't see it taking off. Just because of the cost balance between value and postage. In this community, even if a fair % participated say 3-5, the participants would be too far flung to make it a deal.
But for novelty value not to mention freindship building... well then the postage doesn't seem a high price. So maybe someone will offer to trade. Besides FC's *cough*generous *cough* one.
I'd be interested in trading some stuff - but most of my good books I reread at least once every one or two years. It has occurred to me, however, that I have a number of books that I would be happy to get rid of in exchange for another good read. I have a pretty large collection spanning pretty much every genre. What kind of stuff are you interested in?
just take the books u dont want any more and scan them and ocr them and post a link
It would take me at least a whole day, probably two to go through all my books, let alone scan and link them. If anyone is really interested, then tell me what you're after, I'll tell you what I'm after and we'll go from there. :blink:Quote:
