We thought we would try a book swap in our group! Thanks to Natalie for suggesting it!!
Basically, the idea of a book swap is you list books you would like to trade, or look at books others want to trade. When you find a match with a person, you would ship each other your books. Its a cheap, easy way to get new books, and recycle your old books at the same time!
Some basic rules: 1. David Estes Fan Group is not responsible for your book swaps. You do this at your own risk. Basically, we are providing you a platform with which to swap books.
2. Please be honest and only participate if you plan on following through! Its disappointing to others when they are left hanging.
3. DO NOT post any personal info directly into the threads. If you find someone you want to swap with, contact them via private message.
4. When you post your books for swap, also post the condition they are in and what format. Someone may be interested in a Hardback, but not a paperback or an ARC.
5. If you are a minor (under the age of 18 years old) please get your parent's permission before participating.
6. When you post your books for swap, also post which country you reside in, as this will impact mailing. Some may not want to ship internationally.
Book Conditions:
Acceptable Some damage to the cover but integrity still intact, binding slightly damaged but integrity still intact, possible writing in margins, possible underlining and highlighting of text, no missing pages. Illegible text on any page is not acceptable.
Good Minimal damage to the cover (no holes or tears, only minimal scuff marks), dust jacket not necessarily included for hard covers, minimal wear to binding, majority of pages undamaged (minimal creases or tears), minimal pencil underlining of text, no highlighting of text, no writing in margins, no missing pages.
Very Good Typically a book that was read once. May have a crease in the spine and very minimal edge wear. Dust jacket included for hard covers, no missing pages, all pages undamaged (no creases or tears), no underlining/highlighting of text, no writing in margins.
Like New Undamaged cover, dust jacket included for hard covers, no missing pages, all pages undamaged (no creases or tears), no underlining/highlighting of text, no damage to binding, no writing in margins.
Format Hardback Paperback ARC Old library book
And I suggest when mailing, to mail as media mail, as this gets you the cheapest rate. Tracking is now automatically included at the US Post Office with Media Mail.
If you have any questions, you may message myself or David. Thanks!
