(2) I've been a member of Paperback Swap for about three months now and I cannot recommend it enough. Yes, it's a bit of a slog to send out the 10 books necessary to qualify for swab requests, but once you get there, the choices are amazing. Yes, you can buy a lot of .01 books on Amazon these days, and Half.com's cheapest are only .75, but somehow the community and altruism and low-stress nature of PBS just feels so much better. I've got some outstanding books through PBS and I love their Wish List system as well!
This blog is called Post-Apocalyptic Homeschool because I obsessively collect and stockpile used children's books just in case I need to personally educate a small village after some sort of catastrophic scenario where all the other books and technology and book-obtaining means of all kinds have been destroyed, such that the only reading materials left for miles around are the piles of books in my garage. Sensible, yes?
