2SWAP.COM BEGINS FREEING CAPTIVE BOOKS IN AMERICA

Free Book Swapping Website Launches to Spread Knowledge, Preserve Planet

Los Angeles, CA – September 15, 2007 -- 2SWAP.com, the free web community dedicated to freeing captive books in America, opened its public beta launch phase today. The website is located at www.2SWAP.com.

“There are billions of books sitting captive on America’s bookshelves at this very moment,” said Todd Beck, co-founder of 2SWAP.com. “By enabling 2SWAP members to share their extra books with each other, we hope to unlock one of America’s greatest stores of free knowledge and entertainment and to spread the joy of reading great books.”

New members joining the 2SWAP community during the beta phase can earn up to three free books by creating a free account on the site and offering their extra books to the 2SWAP community. The 2SWAP community features a growing database of books in virtually every category including fiction, non-fiction, children’s, cooking, business, and others.

In addition to being a great resource for booklovers, 2SWAP is an Earth-friendly option for readers interested in minimizing the destruction of trees and consumption of natural resources involved in the manufacture and distribution of new books.

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.
