Bookmooch
A community for exchanging used books. It works like this: you register with the website and list the books you want to give away. Other members request the books from you and you post them out. You receive points for books you send and use these points to request books you want from other members. Pretty simple! The website is free to join – the only cost involved is posting the books requested from you.
