Description:

With permission from @xSugar i thought i'd host an Australian only version of this swap. Although i have altered just a couple of things slightly so please read before joining. :-)

Second-Hand book stores and Op-Shops are always a good place to find hidden treasures, especially books! It might take a little looking, but you almost always uncover something interesting.

FOR THIS SWAP, you will send one (1) book to one (1) partner. You should find a place that sells cheap secondhand books (Red Cross, Salvos, Savers etc for example). Find a fiction novel that stands out on the shelf and looks interesting. The goal is to judge it by its cover; make it something that looks interesting, something where the cover just jumps out at you! Try to stay away from popular books that everybody already knows. Paperback is preferred since it's cheaper to ship but not mandatory.

Send something you'd like to receive. Worn books are fine, but make sure it isn't missing pages. Also, be courteous and don't send someone a book from a series unless it's the first.

Please remember that it is senders choice so although you may prefer romance, you might end up with a crime novel or something else altogether!

Rated users with a 4.8 or higher. Participants must have a decent amount of rated mail swaps. No recent 1's or 3's! I will be checking profiles for this one. Be nice; don't flake! If this swap goes well, there will be more to follow!

Be courteous and don't forget to rate your partner when you receive your book!

Note: I know its a far away sign up date but i wanted to leave it until after Christmas so that we're not all too busy. I wanted to post it now though as i figured we could start keeping our eyes open for books! :-)

Can you send books you already have at home that we are done with?

That would be find provided that they fit the description of the swap; ie. you picked it because you liked the cover.
