Quick Tip: PaperBack Swap
If owning your own copy of a book is your thing and the library just doesn’t do it for you, here’s an online service that can help cut costs on book buying: PaperBackSwap.com
We are a group of readers who share books with each other (NOT just paperbacks) for nothing more than the cost of postage!
It’s for the U.S. only so I haven’t been able to try it, but sounds great! I figured today’s posts on frugal living tips wouldn’t be complete without another money saving tip :).

You might enjoy BookCrossing.com.
Basically, people give away books by putting them somewhere in the city. For example, “I left a book in locker 431 in the Ferry Building.”
Then, you go search for the book! You can also hide your own books for others to find, or leave them out in the open.
