I think this is a brilliant idea because I too always have to buy the books new and they really do cost a fortune. The only consolation for me is that so far I have been able to pass my daughters down to my son (there is a 2 year difference) but even after they have been used twice, they are still in perfect condition.

I think if we start putting our books up now and make an agreement with whoever we choose, then at the end of June we can arrange collection.

This year I will have 1st class books available, there is only about 4 readers because all the other books are workbooks and get wrote into.

But in saying that, these four readers are still expensive.

So count me in, and when the kids go back to school I will get the exact names of these books and post them up with the agreement that I will pass them on at the end of June.

I will be looking for books for 4th class for my daughter, that I can then keep for my son and then pass on.
