Not a Thing - Paperspine

I say! I just recently read about paperspine.com. It's supposed to be like Netflix, only with books. I think that's going to give the library a run for its money, at least with a certain segment of the population. No overdue fees, keep the item as long as you want, order online, deliveries to you door - what's not to like? Well, it's not free of course, but I think it will attract folks in any case.

If I were not already spending most of my time at the library, I would probably be a convert, I have to say.

Glad to hear you're interested in the online book rental industry. But may I suggest BookSwim.com? Unlike this other company, BookSwim never charges for shipping, and provides hardcover new releases. Check it out.

Groovy - thanks for the suggestion. If ever I leave the library biz, I imagine this would become extremely attractive.
