Member Testimonials
Here are real testimonials from our club members. If you like what we are doing in general or maybe you consider a certain feature to be a miniature "stroke of genius" :), please take a moment to let us know about it. Hey, we like to read these testimonials and we can then publish them for prospective members to read as well. (More books! More books!)
Or maybe you'd like to express your appreciation for the kind or thoughtful actions of fellow members? We hear about them quite often in feedback and it always makes our day, so please, share it with the world!

"Like most of the testimonials, I too have enjoyed swapping books. But, I have also enjoyed the service and kind messages from other members. Again and again, I experience patience and generosity from other members. Thank you for such a great service!"
Teresa S. (mariposamom) - Mariposa, CA - 6/26/2009
"I love this site its given me not only a chance to trade books with other members but a chance to meet new friends.We as members must do what we have to to keep this site going as a member if a membership happened i would gladly still be a member knowing that I'm helping support PBs books.Thank you PBS"
Robin D. (tigerlillies) - Fulton, KY - 6/26/2009
"I'm a new member with way too many books in the closet. This is a great way to downsize. THEN, I joined Box o books! I saved enough postage to my first deal to cover the cost. An acquaintance of mine told me about this site and now I'm telling everyone. It's great!"
Dawn H. (dawn60) - Macon - Macon, GA - 6/24/2009 
"I am so addicted to PBS. I tell all my friends about it. I don't know what I did with all my free time before PBS."
Wendy P. (reina39) - Tifton, GA - 6/22/2009 
"Wow!!! I love this site! I have become addicted to checking daily on books and also learning about undiscovered ones to read. The summaries and the reviews are very helpful. It is fantastic that you can swap credits to the CD and DVD sites; this has allowed me to get new music and movies as well! Incredible! Thank you for helping me rediscover my love of reading."
Wendy J. - Grove City, OH - 6/20/2009
"This site is unbelievable! I can't believe I waited so long to sign up! Great books I haven't read in years that I never thought I'd find again...they're all over the place!
Swapping is painless and as much fun now as it was in my youth!"

Patricia K. - Roanoke, VA - 6/17/2009
"This site is incredible! I posted 65 books yesterday and today I'm going to the post office to ship out 20 of them!"
Ashley C. (ashleycredit) - Salem, NH - 6/15/2009
"I just hit my 2 year anniversary being with PBS and I couldn't be happier. I've made so many wonderful friends here, traded hundreds of books and have so much fun. I recommend PBS to everyone I know. Thank you for such a wonderful site!!"
"Spent too much money buying books I'd only read once. Now you can have 'em, and when I get the urge to order it doesn't cost me. :)"
(GreenFireflyer) - San Diego - San Diego, CA - 6/15/2009
"This is the best site I've ever joined. It's easy, convenient and at a time like this in our economy is a necessity. I haven't been to the bookstore in ages and as much as I love bookstores I'm shocked that I'm happy about that.."
JAMIE L. (jamielanier) - Mechanicsburg, PA - 6/13/2009
"Joined on a whim and boy, have I been having fun. I've already swapped several books and I look forward to every request because I know that if I send out a book, I can get another book! Also, there is a ton of stuff to do on the website, from chat and forums (great people!) to sudoku and member generated games. Too much fun!!!"
James R. (jamesrose) - Decatur, AL - 6/12/2009
"Previously I would give my read books to the library but was never convinced that they made it to the shelf. This is great since not only do I save money on purchases but we are saving trees and the books continue to be read and appreciated. I also love that the site tracks the books I've read. This has encouraged me to clean my bookshelf and to list many books that I was hesitant to let go."
Susan R. (GentlyUsed) - Oakmont, PA - 6/10/2009
"i don't remember when i joined but i completely love this site. thanks :)~Kaila"
Kaila K. (mamakaila) - Chesapeake, VA - 6/8/2009
"This is a great idea and SO much easier and more fair than other swap websites. I've received so many books that were out of print and have been able to give some as gifts because they're 99% of the time in great condition. I have recommended PaperBackSwap to everyone of my book-obsessed friends...and they all love it."
Michelle M. - Highland Park, NJ - 6/5/2009
"Have only been on this site for a month. It is absolutely wonderful. So many books available, and 100's of books out there I didn't even know existed. Well worth your time to check into!!"
Phyllis M. - Corsica, SD - 6/5/2009
"I heard about Paperback Swap through the Manic Mommies and while it sounded interested I was skeptical that it really worked. I gave it a try and I am happy to say I am addicted! I love being able to take all the books collecting dust on my bookshelf and passing them on to let someone else enjoy them, plus I get new books to read...and it's free! I just can't say enough good things about this site. Thank you Paperback Swap!"
Sarah K. (remgirl) - Lennox, SD - 6/5/2009
"What a wonderful idea! With 2 kids in college, and a job loss, feeding my "book jones" was one of things we've had to cut back. The library is great, but there is something delightful about curling up with a book that you own. It's fun to see how many people are wishing for the same books that I have on my wish list-and it's wonderful to get a "thank you" or other nice note from the people with whom I've traded."
Beth C. - Mount Laurel, NJ - 6/4/2009
"I had decided to go back to school to get my AS degree in nursing. I have limited funds and was worried about how to buy my books, even used they are expensive. I stumbled across PBS and thanks to members like us I was able to get the majority of my books for free!!! And everyone I thank responds back to me. It's like having friends around the globe!"
Maureen J. (Reenie) - Summerfield, FL - 6/3/2009
"I found your website while searching for ways to downsize my huge collection of books. I've tried Amazon.com and Powell's, however, some books just do not sell, even though they are still valuable and excellent books. I listed my first 10 books about a month ago, and now have 60 books on my listing - and still listing more! I've already exchanged 5-6 books and am looking forward to swapping many more. This is a wonderful, creative, and unique way to make good use of all the books we all have laying around the house. Even the woman at the post office got interested in your website when she saw the neatly printed mailing labels! She said she is going to join, too!
So thanks for helping to give my books new homes and downsizing my book collection and still getting some new books to read!
Also, this may be silly, but I love to watch the numbers change on the "books available" counter - 3,528,850...3,528,855...waiting to see it go up to 5,000,000!
Terry"

"I was an amazon addict for years. Always "needing" the book my friend mentioned, I read about, or the cover drew me in or something.But the expense of the addiction got to be too much - and then I read about Paperbackswap. It's amazing how many books I'm looking for that are available or come up off my wish list. I also love the congeniality of the members, it honestly feels like you are trading with friends or family.
thank you"
thank you"
STEPHANIE R. - Mill River, MA - 6/3/2009
"I especially love listening to audiobooks since I don't always have much time to read and was thrilled to find a place where I could trade my audiobooks for others by top notch authors like Micheal Connelly, and Patricia Cornwell, and John Grisham to name a few. Mystery books are among my favorites and now I have been able to swap for several audiobooks that I have enjoyed listening to while traveling to work, shopping, etc. Tonight I was listening to the last disc of Micheal Connelly's The Black Echo and my husband got so into it that when we arrived home he sat out in my SUV with me for almost a half hour to find out how it ended. I'm looking forward to swapping for many more great audiobooks!"

"I came across this site in a Better Homes & Gardens magazine - gardening is one of the many hobbies ive taken interest too since my mother passed away in January from cancer. My mother was an avid reader and after she passed we were eyeballs deep in Nora Roberts, Janet Evanovich, and Carla Neggers, etc. etc. Reading was something she tried to keep all of her children interested in, and I didn't just want to drop the books at the local book store, I couldn't move on that easily. When I came across this site it was almost as if she led me right to it. The PaperbackSwap is a true answer to my prayer. The idea of swapping books little by little, a healing experience for me, is perfect for me to let go a little bit at a time and keep up on the good reads. She'd be proud. She truly loved reading and had read hundreds upon hundreds. She saw reading as a privelage, and found comfort in the temporary get-away from real life reading offers all of us. I'm thankful."

"I have been a member now for a year and I'm still so pleased with this service! I have been able to find books that I needed for college courses, and I've also been able to make my way through some very popular books that I would not have splurged and bought for myself. Trips to the library, due dates, and late fees are no longer an issue for me! Thanks, PBS!"
Dayna F. (DaynaReadsOnTheMetro) - Arnold, MO - 5/27/2009
"As a previous bookstore worker, I was a book snob about having to always buy new. When I got laid off I was concerned about how I would continue to feed my habit. I stumbled across PBS and my prayers were answered. My husband is thrilled with my savings so far and no longer complains about all the money I was on books. Thanks for supporting my habit PaperBackSwap.com!!!"
