Hey all! I am pretty excited about the PBS site, and I checked it out. I love books and I tend to collect so much, but at the same time, I like to keep the books that I buy and read. I had a few basic questions about the site. Can someone give me a brief summary of what really it's about?

Do my books ever come back if requested for?
Should I put up only those books that I no longer want to keep with me?
Would hardbacks do?
If I request a book from someone, is it mine to keep?
In return, do I have to keep the balance by making sure I get enough requests too?

I am a bit lost. Will appreciate to get these doubts cleared.
Thanks!!!
Have a great day!

Hey Teri, thanks for clearing my doubts.
I see.....so I can only request books according to the number of credits I have. And the more books I put up on the site (or the more books I mail out?), the more credits I will have?

You only get add'l credits when a book you posted is requested, mailed by you and the receiver confirms that your book was received.
