BookMooch is a free community for exchanging books. By donating books to BookMooch, you accrue points that can be exchanged for other people’s books. It’s free to join and the only price you will pay is shipping when you mail your books. Also, the points you earn and the books you donate can be given away to charity, such as African literacy programs or children’s hospitals.This site is one of the largest book-swapping communities online and the interface is very simple. If you would like a specific book that isn’t listed yet on BookMooch, a “wish list” can be made, which will put you first in line to receive your wanted books once they are available. Looks like the user base continues to grow. It’s also well designed.

Cat (Beyond Books) reviewed this on on June 9, 2009 at 3:57 pm and said:My only problem with BookMooch is the difficulty that Canadians can have with it. As soon as you add books to your inventory you’re bombarded with Mooch requests and they are of course mainly US residents. Costs a lot of money to ship and most do not ship outside of US so I tend to Mooch less books than I ship out.
But I still like it for trying to find those hard to find books I had when I was a kid!
