I can't remember how I heard about ReadItSwapIt.co.uk, a recommendation from a random website while surfing aimlessly one evening. What I do know is that once I had found it I was hooked! I've always loved reading. From a very young age I was far more likely to be found with my nose stuck in a book than watching TV, and I'm still the same. Finding RISI was like stumbling into a book lovers paradise, and I couldn't believe I hadn't found it sooner. A year on it still remains one of my favourite sites (after Dooyoo of course!) ************************* ~ About ReadItSwapIt.Co.Uk ~ ************************* ReadItSwapIt (or RISI ...  Read the complete review

As a big reader myself & mother of two book-devouring children I'm filled with gratitude on a weekly basis for our local library, which is not only bursting with top-rate books but will also scour other libraries nearby for any others we need. Sometimes, though, even the library runs out of what we're after, & at the rate my kids get through books I'd be a pauper if I had to pay £2.76 on Amazon every time one of us wanted a particular book. Praise the Lord, then, for Readitswapit. If you've got a stack of books to get rid of, you can list them on the site (dead easy by typing in the ISBN numbers). Then you can browse their library of ...  Read the complete review

I was disappointed to have a bad experience with readitswapit.co.uk. Things had motored along satisfactorily until I went on holiday, put my list on hold, and on returning found that one of the members wanted to put into action a swap that had been on eighteen months ago. I sent the book but never had the swap in return and only then found from the administrator that this person had been causing problems i.e. not sending out her book but keeping those sent and was finally, because of my experience, struck off. I felt this problem should have been tackled ages ago:postage costs a lot of money these days. (This person probably sells the books online? )
