Book Embargo

Ah the wonder of Bookmooch. One of my favorite sites these days. I know I have blogged on this before, but I thought you all might be interested in the New York Times article available here. It is a very positive article, with a little history and a few funny gems. Here is one of my favorite quotes,

“She had checked out the person’s wish list and noticed that an Ann Coulter title was on it,” said Ms. Scholl, the University of Washington student, referring to the author of the current “If Democrats Had Any Brains, They’d Be Republicans.” “And she e-mailed her, ‘You want to read something by Coulter so I’m not sending you anything.’”

And here is another fabulous thing about Bookmooch. You really can find your favorite old books that had been lost for a long time!!!

“One of the reasons I started BookMooch was I had this book I re-read every few years — ‘Lessons Learned From Sesame Street,’” he said. “It was long out of print and I lent it to someone — I don’t know who — and it was gone.”

“Two weeks ago,” he added, his voice rising in excitement, “I found it on BookMooch.”
