About 2swap

ABOUT US

2SWAP.com is the web community dedicated to freeing captive books in America.

There are well over 5 billion books sitting captive on private bookshelves right now. Most of them have been read once or twice, are in great condition, and won't be used ever again.

By freeing captive books, 2SWAP.com spreads knowledge and conserves precious natural resources (it's a lot better for the environment if a bunch of people share one book, rather than manufacturing a bunch of books), while creating a vibrant online community of readers.

2SWAP.com includes a bunch of cool interactive community features including user groups, book reviews, wish lists, and more.

2SWAP was founded by Todd Beck, Dirk Berweiler, Randolf Hillebrand, Thomas Lemke and Steffen Roth. The company is headquartered in Los Angeles and maintains a research and development lab and reptile petting zoo in an unmarked warehouse outside of Cologne, Germany.

What is ADD TO WISHLIST?
If there is an item you would like to get via 2SWAP, but it is not currently available on the site, or you do not have a 2SWAP credit in your account, you can add that item to your 2SWAP wishlist. You can add a specific item to your list, or a category of items – for example, “Cook Books.” Then, when a matching item becomes available, you will receive an e-mail notification so you can claim it (assuming you have at least one credit in your 2SWAP account).

What is WANT IT?
Click the Want It button if you see an item and you WANT IT. Assuming you have a credit in your account, you will be prompted to confirm the request, and then the member who owns the item will be asked to mail it to you asap and at no charge to you.

Note: For each book you request we will deduct 1 swap credit from your account.

What is HAVE IT?
Click the HAVE IT button if you already own an item and want to list it in your 2SWAP account so other members can request it. This is a bit quicker than entering the ISBN or UPC number.

Add item?
To get an item into your 2SWAP item list type in the ISBN or UPC code of the item (located next to the bar code). You can also tag the item in up to three categories, and write a comment about it.
