What a win-win!<br /><br />And I'm a huge fan of Paperback Swap. The key is to keep your wishlist filled up as much as possible (you can have up to 200 books on it). Be sure to list as many versions of the book as you can ... it increases your chances of getting it. And be sure to check out the PBS Market. You can use credits and a small amount of money to buy new books that have been overstocked. Once you get going with it, you'll love it. To me, it makes is easier to try books you might not try otherwise. Have fun with it!Jennershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08044537551139633301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7736127069847988207.post-47717070970898488272010-06-01T11:32:50.412-05:002010-06-01T11:32:50.412-05:00I am sorry the balloon festival was cancelled.
