Book exchange

[TANGOMAN]

Is anyone interested in a book exchange idea. I'm thinkin' with the high cost of quality reading material it can take forever to establish a collection worthy of "library" status. I've got a lot of books but there are a lot I'd also like to get...
So I was thinkin', (ya, I do that sometimes), interested individuals could compile a list of books they own. It could be posted here and we could exchange at meetings. There would obviously need to be trust established as the books are a huge, but vital investment. With books exchanged as opposed to "lent", the chances of return are pretty good???
I'll go do inventory now and anxiously await feed-back...I do have this one book entitled "How to post topics on internet bulletin boards and avoid long-winded babbling..." It's brand new ! Anybody want to read it...?

Doug,
I would be intrested in exchanging my "Corals" book but I have to find time to get a good look at it. So maybe in a month or two.

one book entitled "How to post topics on internet bulletin boards and avoid long-winded babbling..."

Hmmmmmm. I need to read ... ah, I mean, I might have a "friend" who needs to read that one.

Sounds like you have almost everything. The Sprung book is here, but the Fenner book is lent out, and the damn thing is falling apart. BTW that book cost me $70.00 at the store no longer called a bad name Grrrrrrr.....
