I use PaperbackSwap all the time, too. A sweet neighbor even gives me her novels so I can trade them for stuff for school. I appreciate that! Thanks for this descriptive write-up.

Happy swapping. :-) Dianne, Yes, MAJOR props, it's such a GREAT idea and the system works so well! Kela, I'm glad you discovered it too! Mama Squirrel, No, I don't think you missed you anything! LOL But apparently I did (imagine that?)! Thank you for reminding me to correct this! Shortly after I'd received the book (and posted this the next day), I went to check my AO lists and couldn't find it either. I have many of the books from Years 1-6, and those I don't have are on my PBS wishlist, so I'd assumed that's where I'd gotten it from. I simply forgot to make the correction on my post. I found that it was actually from my living math booklist, and the recommendations I'm remembering must have been associated with living math discussions... which makes sense after glancing through it. I'd just assumed it was an AO science book, but then realized that it was actually Fleisher's "Secrets of the Universe" book recommended for Y6 that I was thinking of, which I don't have (and would have sure liked to have received!). I love AO, and PBS has been such a great tool for our acquiring so many of the recommended books! :-) Gretchen, I’m so glad to let you know then! Happy swapping. :-)

But I'm curious--I'm an Ambleside Online user and don't remember seeing the "Constructing the Universe" on any of the booklists. Did I miss something? Great post!

I just discovered it recently. I try to make sure that I request books that would cost me WAY more in the store! Paperback Swap is the bomb!! I just discovered it recently.

I'm glad you're sharing this with the HS community, because it is really a treasure. I've not used it lately, because we moved and things were a little crazy, but I'm ready to start unpacking the rest of the books, purging, and listing on PBS. I've been super happy with the books I've received, too! Major props to the people behind this program. :D Paperback Swap totally ROCKS!!

Wow! We have so so so many books, and in fact we even have quite a few duplicate books. I’ve never had the heart to just get rid of them, but I could definitely see myself sending them to people who were actually wanting them! I am off to sign up right now :) Beth, how did I not know about this?!! Wow! We have so so so many books, and in fact we even have quite a few duplicate books.
