The Reddit Book Exchange

Here's how it works. Either:

  1. Post titles and author of books you want to pass on to another reader. Put "[SEND]" in the title of your post.

  2. Post requests for titles you wish to receive. Put "[WANT]" in the title of your post, but be sure to post your country so other users are aware of potential shipping cost.

  3. Post "[RECEIVED]" and the username of the user who sent you a book so we can confirm successful exchanges.

  1. Post [HELP] as your tag if you simply want help finding a book online to purchase. These may be rare books or ones out of print. Please be advised we still do not allow buying or selling within the sub, and this is to protect you from getting scammed as many have been before.

Consider checking out our other sub, RandomActsOfReading. Just read here for some info.


For Beginners:

Here are the STEPS:

(These are only guidelines and we feel they are best practiced)

  1. Find a post which interests you

  2. Notify the poster of your intent

  3. Negotiate shipping

  4. Send the book

  5. Be patient! If a week passes you may send off a POLITE inquiry as to the status of your incoming package, asking forgiveness for your uncontainable excitement. Upon receiving said package: notify the Mods via Mod Mail whether the outcome was satisfactory or inconceivable. Include your username, your shipper's username, and the number of books you received. And if your exchange was less than satisfactory or by chance downright deceptive, you may also include a screenshot of your PMs and pictures of the damaged or misrepresented books you received.


Ground rules:

  • Shipping to be negotiated by the participating parties in the exchange. Use media mail! It's cheap.

  • Once your book has been sent to you, or asked for by some one else, please edit the description of your post to express this.

  • Absolutely no sales within this sub. If you are found trying to sell, it will result in a permanent ban from this sub.

  • No requests or offers for PDF, Epub, Mobi or other digital content within this sub.

  • No Textbooks or teachers editions to be requested in this sub.

  • No worldwide book exchanges promising 36 books. These are spam and will result in a permanent ban immediately.

[want] Community Cookbooks!

Hello! I collect community cookbooks/handwritten recipes and upload the ones I am legally able to (so public domain or not copyrighted) to the Internet Archive so these recipes don't get lost. Think spiral bound or stapled church fundraisers, PTA fundraisers, family reunion recipe collections, etc. Since I'm scanning them I'm not super worried about condition as long as they're legible! If you or somebody you know has community cookbooks they're not quite sure what to do with and were considering pitching, I'd love to give them a good home instead. Thanks!!

Looking for the foreword of "The Last Unicorn" by Patrick Rothfuss

I own the book (the blue one) and am on a study-abroad semester rn. As I wanna make my project about this book, I wanted to quote some of Rothfuss' foreword.
As I don't have the book with me though, I can't look it up and I can't find a digitalized version of the foreword on the internet either

Can anyone help?
