Hi, I'd appreciate thoughts from the community regarding this situation. I've recently requested a book and while the Mooch was accepted, the owner has added comments to say they would like me to contribute to the postage, and they will be sending their address with the book, so I can send them some stamps back.
While I realise this won't cost me very much - I also feel that this isn't in the spirit of BookMooch. I've sent out 64 books, both to the UK and when I can afford it, internationally too. I've never asked for any postage costs, so I really don't feel inclined to pay to receive, when I've already paid to give.
Surely if you can't afford to send books, or need a contribution then you shouldn't be offering your books here.

I'd be really interested to know what others think.

Many Thanks
