"My family lives and breathes on Paperbackswap.com! There isn't any other site as awesome as this one and we, especially my wife and teenage daughter, visit it nearly every day. They have to be your best customers... I've got a toddler they're grooming with pop-up books for goodness sakes! Thanks for having this 1,000,000 books contest, Richard and Robert!! I have had a household of happy readers since we joined the club a year ago and I now have enough credits to satisfy our current wish list. We're looking forward to trying out the Box of Books. THANKS A MILLION!!"

"Thank you so much to everyone at Paperbackswap.com! I cannot believe that I won 2nd place in the 1,000,000 Books contest! I am so excited and can't wait to start picking out some books! And I am still shocked since I never win anything. I love this site and check it every day. I love being able to pass my books onto people who will enjoy them as much as I did. And I love being able to get books for free. I have saved a lot of money by using this site! I love to read and this site makes it so much easier. Thank you to everyone here who helps to make this site so wonderful!"

"Wow! What a great day! It was very exciting to find out I won third place in the 1,000,000 book contest, especially considering today is my birthday! I have only been a member for a short time, but I can not say enough how impressed I am with this site and all it has to offer. I read quite a bit and it is wonderful being able to share and trade books so easily with so many people. I also appreciate how easy it is to maneuver around the site and to track progress of books you are waiting for and have shipped. Thanks PaperBackSwap.com for such an enjoyable experience!"
