Forum Book trade?

La Petit MortLa Petit Mort
edited January 2010 in Everything Else
I wanted to develope this idea a while ago, mostly on the fact that I really want to read the Prince of Nothing series. Would anyone be willing to lend/trade/give books?

    Funny, I've been thinking about starting a thread like this for a while. I've got a bunch of graphic novels, manga, and RPG books that I'm probably never going to read again or use, and I'd be so into this.

    I did a search for a thread like this, and I found a board game trading thread where Scott recommended everyone using Listal instead of doing it on the forum. You think something like that would be better? Or should we just post everything we want to get rid of, and we can edit the lists as things come in/go out?
  • La Petit MortLa Petit Mort
    Well, we can write a post with different lists: What you're willing to give away, what you're willing to trade, etc.

    How is fantasy art techniques? Is it a good book?
    I'm also interested in the Cthulhu RPG.
    I'm also interested in all of the art books, mostly because I love artbooks, despised the fact that I don't have many.

    There has to be a web site out there for book sharing you can use that is more efficient than this thread.
  • VigaViga
    Maybe, Listal somehow?

    Maybe we can make our libraries with Libra and upload the exports for each other to download or view online? Libra has a pretty good loan tracking system as well.
