Barter Economy Sweeps Book World By Storm!Yesterday's "Book Maven" blog at PW Daily, which sees our pal Bethanne Patrick waxing enthusiastic over bookswapping parties, gave me a bit of a chuckle. In it, she writes that her friend "invented" the concept of a party where everybody brings a bunch of books they don't want and take home a bunch of books they do—"there are always books left over," she added, "and it's up to the evening's host to scoop them all up and keep them, or give them to a library... the latter always wins." I laughed (but gently) because the concept's hardly that new, and even Bethanne jokingly admits by the time the comments flow that "it may not be new—but she invented it for me."
