How does Bookmooch works?
BookMooch is a community for exchanging used books. BookMooch lets you give away books you no longer need in exchange for books you really want.
Give & receive: Every time you give someone a book, you earn a point and can get any book you want from anyone else at BookMooch. Once you've read a book, you can keep it forever or put it back into BookMooch for someone else, as you wish. If you send 1 book within your country, you’ll get 1 point equivalent to 1 book within your country. However, if you send outside your country, you’ll get 3 points, and if you’ll get a book outside your country you’ll need 2 points.
No cost: there is no cost to join or use this web site: your only cost is mailing your books to others.
Points for entering books: you receive a tenth-of-a-point for every book you type into our system, and one point each time you give a book away. In order to keep receiving books, you need to give away at least one book for every five you receive.
;D ;D ;D

If you want to be my buddy there or just to check me out... just look for "ylef". If you ask to be my buddy there though, you need to tell me you're from BRT, so I'll know *smile*.

I think you're right that PBS is only for US. But it's definitely the main competitor to BookMooch, so the option should be out there. After all, I was too poor to participate internationally with BookMooch anyway.

USPS is really expensive, I agree to that! The cost of sending is greater than the value of the book.

I just went through my book collection and listed something like 25 books on PBS and 22 were snatched up immediately. I can't wait for the tokens to start rolling in.
