OVERVIEW It's true. Mooching has become a serious part of my life. Indeed, I'm proud to belong to a large circle of moochers--all based at www.bookmooch.com, an online community dedicated to the mutual mooching of books. The concept behind BookMooch is simple: I give you my unwanted books, and you give me yours. It's a great circle of book swappers. In fact, it's a worldwide circle of swappers--unless, of course, you choose to limit your circle of moochers to those within your own country. The only cost for this remarkable service is postage; that is, the cost of mailing your books to their new owners. You pay nothing for the books you ...  Read the complete review

I will base my review on a comparison to ReadItSwapIt, as this is the most popular book-swapping site in the UK and many people will be familiar with the way it operates. ===BookMooch Operates a Point System== BookMooch (BM) is a book-swapping site, but instead of swapping book-for-book, as it's the case with ReadItSwapIt (RISI), it's point-based. You get 0.1 point for each book listed, 1 point for each book posted within your country and 3 points for books posted abroad. You also get 0.1 point for confirming a receipt of a book. Books requested ("mooched") within your country cost you 1 point, those mooched from abroad - 2 ...  Read the complete review

I wrote a review not so long ago about ReadItSwapIt.co.uk, my favourite book swapping website. I'd often heard people mentioning BookMooch in the past and yet again people mentioned BookMooch so I decided it was time to give it a try. - What is BookMooch? - You will find BookMooch at www.bookmooch.com and it works in a similar way to a book swapping website, with the exception that this site works with points. It's dead simple, you list books which you've read and are sat lying around your bookshelf never to be read again, and if people want a book from you, they 'mooch' it, which means you have to send it through the post to them. In return you gain 1 ...  Read the complete review

About two years ago I found a book swap website called bookhopper. I eagerly joined, gave all of my books away (okay, not all of them but the ones I didn't want to keep) and then found that there were no books that I was interested in listed there! I still haven't managed to claim back for all of the books that I gave away but I've found a few. Among those few was one with a book mark advertising a book swap website called bookmooch. Now, I thought that was a bit cheek but as it came from a user of the site rather than anyone running it I thought it was probably a good sign that bookmooch was a useful website. So I signed up. -How Does Bookmooch ...  Read the complete review

I love to read! About a year ago my grandma told me about this online book trading site called bookmooch.com. I looked it up and tried it out and have been using it ever since. I have had nothing but positive experiences while using the website. The other members have always been great and I have made some good "virtual" friends. I have since joined other book trading sites but this site is still my number 1 site. The site is very easy to use and highly recommended. WARNING: This site is addictive. About the Site: This is book trading site where you list books you have but would like to give away. The site is free to ...  Read the complete review
