Green Metropolis

What a find. The site at http://www.greenmetropolis.com/ is a must for all those who enjoy reading. Lets be honest you need to read to write well. All books are "recycled "at a cost of £3.75 with postage for the most part free. Postage can be charged for larger heavier items.

The concept behind the site is to sell second hand books or as the site states "recycle" books to save trees. £3 of the sale price goes to the sellers account, the balance less0.05pence is retained by Green Metropolis to cover costs. The five pence goes to a charity to [plant trees.

The site has thousands of books for sale on a vast range of subjects. Thankfully it is possible to search the site in several ways, book title, author, and ISBN number. A further useful facility is a "wish list" where once registered the site will email you if a particular book comes up for sale.

It is free to advertise your own books so clear your bookshelves to make room for all those titles you have not realised you wanted until now.

Use of the site is very straight forward as it is well laid out and sign posted. I have ordered several books and placed quite a few for sale so I will keep you informed of progress.
