Bookmooch is a great site. I've given away 200 books and received 150 so far. If you're a community minded reader, it works fine. Now for the bad part. 1. Sending books in the US is cheap through media mail. Internationally not so. This means I don't send internationally, and I understand when people in other countries don't want to send to me. 2. The really bad thing is that it's kinda bleeding to death. For stupid reasons Amazon does not allow BM to search for ISBNs, so adding books or searching for them has become hard. There are still people active, but it's probably at an end. The founder basically seems to have left -- his blog has not been updated in years.

Esperienza molto positiva su tutta la linea. Uniche migliorie che apporterei sono grafiche perché sembra molto basic e la ricerca dei volumi che non è completamente agile.

I've been a member of Bookmooch for several years and the few negative experiences I've had all came from a few careless (not malicious) members, not the site - some will not keep their lists updated, showing a book available when it's not. Currently, I have sent more books than I've received, but everything seems to work exactly as it's supposed to. No one has sent me a beat-up or stained book. Of course, newer books are easier to mooch, but you can leave requests on your wish list for years if necessary, and it you're in a hurry for something, there's always Amazon (though I bristle at the idea of making Jeff Bezos any richer)! I recommend Bookmooch. The more people who use it, the more inventory there will be for everyone, so pass the word heavily! For those who complain about Bookmooch, it's a FREE trading platform - FREE! How much are YOU doing for thousands of people for FREE? Yeah, that's what I thought, so shut your piehole!

non ho mai riscontrato i gravi problemi segnalati da altri utenti. qualche libro spedito o in attesa di essere ricevuto è andato perso ma per la stragrande maggioranza è andato tutto a buon fine. il sito ha effettivamente una architettura un po' da svecchiare e non c'è una selezione dei vecchi utenti ma credo che cancellarli possa creare problemi qualora riprendessero l'attività di scambio (perdita punti, reinserimento titoli). se chi lo utilizza abitualmente facesse un po' di promozione si potrebbero evitare i problemi di "stagnazione".
