A few more books to trade

I added a few more books available for trade on my trading page. If you see something you like, please let me know: I can list the book at BookMooch.com, titletrader.com or sf-books.com or we can trade directly.

If you are a fan of PaperbackSwap... well, I like it too but since the site works like "first listed in the system - first offered when requested", there is no guarantee that if I list a book and you request it you'll get mine so we can't use it.
