Gustaf Posted March 12, 2002 Share Posted March 12, 2002 ...you might find this interesting: http://www.bookcrossing.com I'm quoting from their press release: "BookCrossers register a book by going to the website...and getting a unique BCID (BookCrossing ID number) that is then written inside the cover along with the website address... Adventurous BookCrossers release their books "into the wild" on airplanes, trains, park benches, bus terminals... Quote Link to comment
+Iron Chef Posted March 12, 2002 Share Posted March 12, 2002 A very interesting idea. :~) It'll be a good excuse to get all of these random books off my shelves. -IC quote:Originally posted by Gustaf: ...you might find this interesting: http://www.bookcrossing.com I'm quoting from their press release: "BookCrossers register a book by going to the website...and getting a unique BCID (BookCrossing ID number) that is then written inside the cover along with the website address...

+Prime Suspect Posted March 12, 2002 Share Posted March 12, 2002 Isn't this just a slight variation on Where's George? The only real difference is that money has a built-in tracking number, whereas one has to be generated for the books. Quote Link to comment

Zuckerruebensirup Posted March 13, 2002 Share Posted March 13, 2002 I love to read, and my hubby complains about all the books that I have stored around the house. This is a great idea. I'll have to sign up. Quote Link to comment

+rdw Posted March 13, 2002 Share Posted March 13, 2002 Why doesn't geocaching.com have a suave picture of Jeremy on the main page that says "Hi, I'm Jeremy Irish. Tell me what you think about Geocaching." Ugh. Book people. rdw Quote Link to comment
