Durham Book-Swap

A barter-based book trade, where you can swap books with other people.

New to MeetUp but not new to Durham - this is a great way to find new books and meet new friends!

Bookswap guidelines:
- Please bring only books that are actually yours.
- Barter only - no currency exchange.
- Trades are made by the mutual agreement of both parties.

(Why is it barter-only?)
1. More fun that way
2. No restrictions on where we can meet
3. There's a million other places where you can sell your used books anyway.

    "Well I'm an avid reader and also love to write. I have enough books to start a used book store, box's upon box's and a whole shed filled with books more than I can count."

    "What a great idea! I have two boxes of books already sitting in the trunk of my car waiting for a new home, and at least a foot or two of floor space at home to stack some new finds. Life is good when you are surrounded by books."

    "I love reading and I guess you could say books make me happy. The idea of trading books sounds great and much more fun than selling them to the used book store."

    "Hi: I am excited about bookswapping. I read a lot and belonged to a book club before I moved to N. Carolina. I am hoping to find a book club also. Anyway this sounds like fun."
