Description:

For this swap we will make and trade postcards made from a paperback book. You will have 1 partner.

Go to the thrift store or the dollar store (or look through your own collection) and find a paperback book with an interesting cover. The more ridiculous the better. It can be a romance, mystery, science fiction, whatever. For goodness sake don't spend more than a dollar on it. Check that the inside of the cover does not already have text on it, you will need space for an address and a message.

Carefully remove the cover and trim it to postcard size (about 4x6").

For examples, look at this blog. It's in Dutch, but I'm sure you can figure it out.

Mail your postcard using real stamps. Be sure to include your message, date, and your name so you can be rated.

You must be 18 years or older to swap. This is a Swap-Bot rule.

Please ask if you have any questions. I would rather have questions up front than misunderstandings and hurt feelings later.

I have one book that's falling apart that I could use. But I'd never cut apart a book that's perfectly fine unless its content was really bad.

This might not be the swap for you @Swan Like I said, don't cut up anything worth more than a dollar. You can recycle the rest or use it for crafting. The world is full of bad books.
