For anybody who isn’t aware, PaperbackSwap.com is a really great site that you can use to swap books with other people around the country and around the world. After posting your books, other people can request the books from you, and you pay to ship them off. You receive a credit and can then request books from other users in the same way. Essentially, you can trade out books for just the cost of media-mail postage. A couple of years ago, I created a tool that would look up the value of your PaperbackSwap.com bookshelf. Perhaps they changed something, or maybe it never completely worked in the first place, but it was only looking at the first 10 books on your bookshelf, which obviously is not very useful.

I’ve just fixed the tool so that it goes 100 books at a time through all of the books on your PBS Bookshelf. This should make it easy for you to evaluate the value of the books that you have listed on PaperBack Swap to make sure that you aren’t trading any valuable books away for free.
