Book Mooch

Posted by Sandy Mitchell Jul 7, 2008

Book Mooch is a book-sharing Web site, where members list books they wish to get rid of. It's free to register and no money changes hands; you only pay postage. In exchange, you receive points that you can use to order books from other "moochers." Not a bad deal.

I registered and started "mooching" last week and I've been pleased so far. There are thousands of mystery books listed (although generally not the latest releases). For your part, US book rate postage for most books are under $2 and you have the knowledge that your old books are going to "good homes," instead of the trash. (Somehow, I always consider throwing away a book akin to book burning.)
