Books for Barter

We would all like to consider ourselves great teachers because we feel our experience and knowledge can be of benefit to others. Unfortunately, sometimes gaining knowledge has to be accomplished by some very basic skills and one of those basic skills is reading. Reading requires tools and the most basic of those tools are books.

If your memory fails you or you forget some basic point, your attempt to impart your knowledge and wisdom to others may leave you coming up blank. Reading books can be a great way to enhance your knowledge and through practical application of that knowledge you can further develop your survival skills. While many of us would like to think that our memories are infallible, it is perhaps a little more prudent to have a few written texts as a back-up.

Barter is sometimes a risky process and many people wonder what would make a safe and practical item for trade. Why not use books for barter? Books can make an excellent item for trade and barter. They can be used to acquire skills you may be lacking or simply to reinforce your current knowledge and skills. They can also be used for simple entertainment if the power is out and you have a little free time on your hands. They also pose little risk to yourselves or others when actively seeking to trade for something you may need.

So the next time you look at a book, you may want to give it a second glance and see all the possibilities that may be inside.
