I find this entirely unobtrusive and perhaps even quite handy. Should I find, or get a recommendation for, a new book, buying it is only a click away. I would love to see integration with some like PaperBackSwap in the future. I think that would really help the community by getting the books flowing.

It also has a handy bookmarklet that grabs the ISBN from amazon pages. I've had a lot of success with bookmooch and it works for hard backs, too. Just be sure to check where you request a book from since bookmooch is global. Same with sending, you can mark if you'll mail outside your country.

I dislike paperbacks, simply because my dream one day is to have a study in my house full of books, complete with that library smell. Is there a sister site called Hard back swap?

Me too!! I think I own all his paperbacks, though. :) You’re a huge Dean Koontz fan? Me too!! I think I own all his paperbacks, though. :)
