- A great list of sites that can help you get books for nothing or next to nothing.
Some, like Book Mooch, require that you send away some of your own old books, but honestly, haven't you read "A hitchhiker's travels in tripoli" enough times already? Yeah, so why not send it off and get a new old book instead?
