"Hokay--I want to thank you guys a PBS for making it so easy and affordable. I tried the print and mail from home for a couple of books, and thought that was pretty cool. Then I thought, I can save a little money if I just print the labels and take the books to the post office myself. Let me tell you all, that is not going to happen like that again. I waited in line at the post office for over one half hour. First time I did that, I sent my husband to the post office. This time he didn't want to do it so I did...now I know why he didn't want to do that. Now, I know. I love the ease and convenience of printing labels with postage and letting my mailman pick up the package. If time is money, your method saves lots. Thank you, Thank you,Thank you!!!!"
"I LOVE paperback bookswap It's the best thing "going" I thank you . I love to read , guess you could call it a hobby and PBS allows me to "indulge""

"I LOVE Paperback Book Swap !! My daughter recommended it too me. Not only have I received some wonderful books, I have been able to send out books I no longer wanted !"
"I extolled the virtues of PBS in my first testimonial. This second testimonial was sparked when i was wrapping a book to mail: most everyone will have at least one book that someone else wants when they first post to PBS. Other books may take a while to be requested. I just wrapped a book to mail that I thought would never be requested. Post your books, leave them, give it time. They will be requested! The other thought I had was this: buying credits is a wonderful feature. The credits are very inexpensive compared to buying a used book...and especially compared to buying a used book and having it shipped. Kudos PBS!"
"LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the new "Expand Your Wish" button. I just noticed it tonight when I was deleting some very long-shot wishes which were about due in other versions. I am busy now deciding which really long-shots I should just buy. I have been a member for about a year and love PBS. So much, in fact, that I "had" to start a local chapter! I have been needing credits and now this week I mailed 3 books already (2 days) received and have 4 to mail tomorrow. Keep up the good work. mary grace "reading voraciously""
"THANK YOU, THANK YOU, what a great concept. Have been a member for not quite 48 hours and already mailed 6 books, 1 getting mailed Sat. and 4 more in the wings. And 1 on the way to me. It is so exciting to learning my way around the site and am expecting to be here for many many more years.!!! Thank you again!!!!!!"
"What a godsend this site is! When I moved to Texas from Colorado,it never dawned on me to check out libraries. I moved to a little town of around 600+/- people, but I saw on the internet that there was a library (got here and found out it had closed). The nearest bigger town has a library, but if you don't have a city address, you can't use the library. I live in the middle of nowhere and without PBS, I would be insane by now - thank goodness all these good people are out there reading!"
"I've only been a member for 3 days - but I love this site! Have already mailed out 2 books with 1 going tomorrow. Have not received any yet, but I can't wait. the concept is awesome and I love the forum. thank you!"
"I am a avid reader, and have spent far more money buying books than I should. This site is fantastic! Not only can I swap books, but put works of literature and talk to other members. Thanks PaperBack Swap!"
"I am new to PBS this summer and have to say WOW! What a great and honest way to get new books and share ones your have read with others! As an avid reader of many many topics ...this is a wonderful way for me to pass my books on to others but still be able to have "new" books to fill my reading time! Hate to say it...but the local book store might be seeing a drop in their customer sales!! I have found many books that I wanted to read but wasn't ready to pay the new release price yet...and now I have them just for a simple swap. I couldn't be happier!!!"

"I am an avid reader and crafter. I cannot express how thankful I am for this site. My daughter recently had a back injury that had her bed bound and I have saved so much money supplying her with books. My family enjoys getting books in the mail. It's like getting a prize! This site is just so Wonderful! Thank You so much!"
"this site is absolutely amazing!! i have found every book in here that i could not find in the past. i highly recommend this site to anyone who owns a book or more. or to anyone who wants to add more books to their collection! :D"
"I truly enjoy this site. I have found many books I wanted and found new authors to read. I am an avid reader of a variety of books and love getting a "swap" in the mail!"
"Love it , love it , love it.....
Also, just got my PBS Cooks cookbook today!(Oct.5, 2009) It really is great! Hats off for the concept of a cookbook for the swappers and by the swappers."
"I am addicted to your sight. Being an avid reader I couldn't ask for a better place to trade books and meet the greatest people. I recommend it to everyone! Thank you so much for what you have done for readers like me!"

"I agree with the rave reviews. I recommend this site to all my reader friends. The logistics are great and the source of so many books is wonderful. I cant be the only one that sat around with a stack of books and not wanting to get little or nothing at a used book store. Bravo! Keep up the good work"
"I LOVE this site! I have discovered so many great "new" authors in my favorite genres and ordered books by the "old" favorites that are hard to find! I looked at other swap sites and this site by far is the most sophisticated and more user friendly than the rest."
"I joined PBS just a short time ago. I am still finding my way around, but I wanted to say how HAPPY I am with the club!! I am not computer savvy, but you have designed a web site that's so user friendly, I have been able to find my way around quite easily. I especially like the fact that I get alerts in my email about activity in my PBS account.
Thanks again PBS & Happy Birthday!!"
"PBS is the most amazing system for keeping me supplied with books. The concept is "ingenious" and the technology is fantastic. Long time member with only one glitch when another member went absent and didn't mark 2 books received. Contact was lost even through the Librarian's efforts, so he awarded my credits without question. Great service; love the guessing games; and there's something new all the time. Sorry Books-a-Million; I'm a PBSer for life."
"Happy 5 year to Paperbackswap !!!!
I am amazed at how well run this place is, how easy it is to swap books. I also sense a wonderful feeling of protection, knowing that it is safe here, no hacking just a bunch of great book lovers to be with. I enjoy the easy way to print out labels, how easy the system keeps track of my account. I highly recommend paperbackswap !!!"

"I have been a member for about a year...I have discovered so many extra special tales told by magnificent authors. I find I just want to find a way to shout out to everyone to read these same books. Such a marvelous way to get to read all of a specific authors work at a fraction of the cost. Thank you Paperback!!!"
"Happy Birthday, PBS! We have been members for a few months now and Love it! Ny whole family is excited when packages arrive in the mail- they can't wait to see the next new book! We especially enjoy sending off a book we really enjoyed and can't wait to share."
"I have been a member of PBS since January 2007. I had never been on the Internet before then, but I have a job searching the Internet now. So I want to tell you that your site was not only the first site I ever learned to navigate, but it has remained at the top of my list for being the one most easily navigated ever since. The PBS site not only makes sense in its layout, but it has the easiest to use, most comprehensive ways to search of any site I know. It makes many of the other sites I have to navigate look bad. If only you could give them a lesson? Thanks for a great site. I know you take a lot of time to make it happen for the rest of us."
