The way that the books are available depends on the person who is offering them.
Sometime they are just free and that means no charge for anything even shipping.
Sometimes there will be a charge for postage, but the book is free.
Sometimes, people want to swap, but that is hard unless someone has a book that someone else wants.
I have benefited from this thread. I have received several books at no charge and I have sent out several others at no charge. I haven't asked for postage yet.
Sometimes when I come across a box of books that no one else wants, I will go through it and take what I think this forum might like and then offer them on this thread. For instance a woman my mother knew left a box of books in her apartment when she moved. We checked and she said that she didn't want them, to just throw them out. I got right on it and went through the box to find "Born To Rule" and a few other biographies that I knew I had but that someone here would want. I posted them and they went very fast.
Never let a good free book go to waste.
