While on vacation in Colorado this week I stopped in the public library and discovered they had a free book swap.
"Leave a book, take a book" the sign said.
Don't you think this is a great idea! How many people do we know that have used books gathering dust at home?
This idea got me thinking, and so (courtesy of The Geek’s Guide to Getting Free Stuff) here are 6 ways to get free books and magazines:
- BookCrossing. Book exchange. Leave a book somewhere in public, then post it’s location at the site. Make it sort of a treasure hunt.
- BookMooch. They do the book swap a bit differently. You ship it out to the person who requests it, and they pay postage.
- Freebies.About. List of magazine subscription offers, including some for anime and Windows computer games.
- PaperBackSwap. Book exchange.
- Project Gutenberg. Free classic copyright-free/expired texts in digital format, with some mobile e-formats.
- Title Trader. Book exchange.
