I am eagerly awaiting the arrival of my copy of Welcome to Hell : A Working Guide for the Beginning Writer by Tom Piccirilli from PaperbackSwap.com. I just could not resist the title. I figure he knows what he’s talking about, and it sounds like he is willing to be more honest than some others I have read.
By the way, if you don’t know about PaperbackSwap, check it out. Post 10 books and get a credit for a free book of your choice from the more than 500,000 posted.
After that. you can buy credits for $10.35 for 3 (discounts if you more at a time) or you get a credit for each book a member requests from you.
Paperback books cost $2.31 to mail (Media Mail with e-Confirm) using the PBS label that you print. You also have to deposit money with them, because PBS takes $0.27 for each book you mail. Not a bad deal, since an awful lot of books are hardbacks.
I have expenaded my reference collection with a lot of quality titles I couldn’t afford to buy. I have also filled out my Holly Lisle collection. It is now almost complete. Just a couple of the Hell on High series lacking, and they’re on my Wish List.
By the way, again, if you join using my link, I’ll get a book credit (hint, hint).
Their sister site is SwapaCD.com. Same deal, basically, only music, and you take a chance on condition with used CDs.
