Did you go to the link?  The books were for less than a $1.  They cost 
her $0.99.  Even when I'm feeling my poorest, and as a graduate student 
I feel that an awful lot of the time, I'd spend that much to get 6,000 
books for when I'm feeling low.

I don't think there does.  Once that happens I think I'll stop my BC 
activity as I know it now.  I'll share locally with people I've met 
through meet up and other venues but I'll stop running or participating 
in rings and rays and I'll probably stop trading.

Yes, I know it's annoying for books to get "lost" for a while.  If a 
book is that important to you, don't send it out.  I have started one 
ring; yes, I'd like the book back but if it doesn't happen, it doesn't 
happen.  For the record, the bookring is moving and has only been to two 
homes since I started it in January.  And you know what, I'm completely 
okay with that because I don't want my rings to be high pressure.  I've 
been on enough of those.
