Item 237: Bookcrossing: the secret world of books and book guerillas

Entered by cmcgee on Mon Sep 22 02:26:51 2003:

Just spent waay too much time exploring this site.  It is a guerilla group
that pushes books. 

www.bookcrossing.com

Looks like quite a few A2 members, some of whom have left hundreds of books
around.

Anyone here a bookcrosser?

It's like a "Where's George" for books.  They get little ID numbers and travel
all over the world. (They = the books).
Kids books, grownup books, serious books, wierd books.  All kinds of books
lurking in all kinds of places, waiting to be found, read, and sent out again.

Jamie had an interesting experiment regarding bookcrossing. Ever carry that
out, Jamie?

Pity. It would have been interesting to follow. If you ever carry through with
it, let me know.
