Does anyone else sell or trade a lot of books? I've got over a dozen books I've borrowed to friends and coworkers, and I plan on taken some of these down to half-price books for trade. Are there any good online stores for used books?

Maybe you should return those books to friends.

Sorry I'm not much help to what you need, but I must compliment you on your book shelf. How long did it take you to fill most of it up?

I've been moving from place to place since I was twelve. Most of these books are less than 3 years old, but spend their time in packing boxes. The shelf is brand new.

Looks nearly like mine mate. Heard there are onlineshops out there who will buy used books for something like 5$ per book. You should search for it a little since I dont remember its name anymore

hehe good for you, will probably need to buy a second bookshelf this year, but if still got some books in mine I havent read yet, so the one I have is enough right now.

Did you read all the books you have in these 5 shelfs?

All of them. Most of them a couple of times.
Now I'm trying to get everything in eBooks, I cant always decide what I want to bring with me on a vacation and such so being able to carry everything would be awesome.

There's a thing in me that I cant visit a bookstore and not go out with at least one book.

Nice! But I know the problem with book stores, especially since I found out about penguin popular classics. I always end up buying one or more books.
I have to admite I am not a big fan of eBooks... I love holding a printed book in my hand and reading it. Also I am studying information technology, so I am sitting in front of a computer screen all day long and I am always happy to get away, so no eBooks for me!

Yes, but it lead to the great depression of the 1930's. Please don't try it again.

It will be okay as you long as you don't sell books you don't have but will have from the sales of other books.
