Oh, I am sorry! I suppose I forgot what it's like to live in the country, having grown up there. It's different in the city.
I once saw a book exchange site online where people could recycle their books for a very low price or exchange them. I can't remember much about it, but I do recall its members love books and want to share the books they enjoyed with others. It isn't just book exchange, it's reading enthusiasts helping each other.
Perhaps you could find something like this in your area, or even Ebay or Amazon UK or the like? I have found books on Amazon UK that I could not get anywhere else, and the postage was surprisingly reasonable. Of course, we're Commonwealth, so that may make a difference. The postage costs from the USA are so extremely high that I take one look at them and flee.
