http://bookcrossing.com/ Watch Out, Books on the Loose
Published on 12/01/04 at 14:05:08 GMT by Norbert
If you find a book these days chances are that it is roaming the world. Check whether there is a BCID attached to the front cover. BCID stands for Book Crossing ID, and a note urges: "Please read me. I'm not lost. I'm traveling around trying to make friends". The book asks to visit it's journal page on Book Crossing dot com. There you can post where you found it, if you read the book, what you think of it. But finders are encouraged to pass on the book, give it do a friend, forget it in a coffee shop, leave it in a train, so that the book can go on. A way to let it go without loosing.
Who sets a book free ? Anybody can. Book Crossing's 3R: - Read a good book, - Register it, you'll get a BCID and the note to print out, - Release it for someone else to read. You'll get an email when a new journal entry is made for that book.
