would anyone be interested in starting a SW book ring? It would go something like: Everyone posts their collections, and their want lists. You send a book out to someone who wants to read it, and someone sends you one in return. This way everyone has a chance at reading books that they may not be able to find (and I know personally, I'm not made of credits, so i'm limited to whatever the Free Library has, and they have a good selection but not EVERYTHING, as I just cant afford to spend money on books right now) But I have a pretty decent collection from back when I WAS buying, and would be willing to lend them out to other fans.
Someone would have to be in charge of keeping track of who has whose copy of what, and I'd be willing to do so.
Thoughts?

That would get pretty pricey for me as I live in the UK and I won't be able to continually ship books out to the U.S, it will be too expensive. Why not just go on Amazon.com, I bought a Star Wars book on there for £2 brand new. I think it would work out cheaper this way and you will have your own books, as I can see books getting lost on the way and it causing upset.

I tend to keep the books I get. Thusly, I wouldn't be too good with the book ring. Good idea, though.

i'm willing to join in this ring. between me and my brother, we have about half of all the Bantam Books novels. we definitely need some way of making sure that no arguments occur before we try this though. and like Garyn, i would like to keep my books, but i dont mind lending them
he has everything from BBY except the Republic Commando books (which I have) and the movie novels.
I have
Bounty Hunter Wars Series (3 Books)
Republic Commando: Hard Contact and Triple Zero
Tales of the Bounty Hunters
and the NJO Series (Yuuzhan Vong War) from Vector Prime through Star by Star
he also has some of the the X-Wing: Rogue Squadron books

yeah, obviously this is only lending, I'm not saying anyone should part permanently with their stuff. Like I said, we keep track of who has what, and it should all be ok. Maybe we should limit it to posters who have a certain amount of posts? Just so some newbie doesnt sign up and run off with someone's books, haha.
