ARC's in Book Swap

[Jennifer]

Hi all! I've been a librarian for quite some time, but have never really hung out here in the group. But now I have a question!

I'm finally getting around to joining the book swap, and I have a ton of ARC's (Advanced Reading Copies) of books to post. The rules state that ARC's are definitely allowed, but you're supposed to set up an entirely different version/edition of the book since an ARC is not the same as the finished hardcover or paperback.

Can someone walk me through how this is done? Since I have a ton of ARC's available to post, I don't want to mess it up!

Any & all help would be appreciated - I'm starting to sort out all of the books I can post for swapping now!

Jennifer, I can show you some examples, but you probably want to be aware that bookswap is closing at the end of the month.

Oh my gosh, I hadn't seen that news! That's horrible - now that I've got about 200 books to post, it's going away! I do appreciate your answer, though. A few GR users have suggested bookins.com as an alternative, and this seems to fit what I'm looking for. I have been using paperbackswap.com for several years, but I'm tired of being the one who has to pay for shipping! Thanks again for your help though, Rivka!
