Hi there! I just moved to Phnom Penh and love to read, so thought I’d start a thread to sell books as I read them! Just finished this one:
Hardcover for $5

Not a bad idea.
Maybe say how much you paid for the books you sell?

I have an E-Reader with hundreds of books.
When I buy an English book here in Asia, after I read it, I donate it to someone. I can buy all the used books I want in this world for $1 each in the states and Im not so desperate for money that I would be selling a cheap crappy novel for $5.
Why dont you bring them to some Yank or English speaker in a hospital or prison?

Sometimes it's good to have a value on things. If someone pays for an item, they value it more than something that is given for free then just treated as another bit of rubbish.
