Via my account at Book Mooch I received William Croft Dickinson's Two Volume Edition of John Knox's History of the Reformation in Scotland today! 
I also got a hardback copy of Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment to accompany my already aquired The Brothers Karamazov. |

You go through your library, take out books you don't want (for example, most of mine were former Arminian, Pop-Psych fluff, and you make them available to others. The place has a point system, by which you gain points. 1 point gives you the ability to "mooch" a book. Starting out, it'll take 10 books to get one point. However, when you give a book to someone who requests it, you get a point. When you acknowledge receiving a book, you get a 10th of a point. So it starts adding up, the more of your book inventory you give away.

A lot of them I no longer read or accept from my standpoint, you mean I can "wheel and deal" some of that stuff and get better material on a point system? Very cool! Thanks for the tip my friend!
