If I were you I'd register the books in question and list them as registered with the caveat in the description that they are reserved for trade for identical paperbacks. Then I'd post this in Announcements in the BC site. You could also just list the paperbacks desired on a wish list using the cliff1976 site and also on RABCK.com (I think, It has been awhile since I've been to RABCK.com.) Then if you get the paperbacks as RABCKs you can RABCK the corresponding hardcovers. You can also look for the soft covers on www.thecheshirekat.com (and other book trading websites).
