+The Cheeseheads Posted July 1, 2002 Posted July 1, 2002 There's a thread over on Slashdot discussing bookcrossing.com. Anyone ever try this? Quote

+nyisutter Posted July 1, 2002 Posted July 1, 2002 Yes. I have a few books released into the wild. And currently have an ammo box full of registered books waiting to hide as a Bookcrossing cache as soon as I find the right spot to hide it. In it is a bookcrossing book/travel bug that I am going to use to experiment on meshing the two games. Quote
PioneerGal Posted July 1, 2002 Posted July 1, 2002 A multi-cache I hid recently has 3 bookcrossing.com books in it. So far only one book has been retreived, but the cache has only been found 3 times. No one can make you feel inferior without your consent. E Roosevelt Quote
+rpecot Posted September 14, 2002 Posted September 14, 2002 I just hid a cache full of books I registered at bookcrossing.com. I hope it's enjoyed by all! Quote

+oregone Posted September 15, 2002 Posted September 15, 2002 I have indeed tried it, with odd results. when i go egosurfing nowadays, bookcrossing comes up first when i type in 'oregone' on google. you'd think i'd run into a geocaching site first, but no. bookcrossing.com is quite the popular thing. all rights reserved, all wrongs reversed Quote
+Dekaner Posted September 15, 2002 Posted September 15, 2002 in a cache becomes a bookcrossing book. I especially like the little keychain/pocket books people leave as they fit very nicely. - Dekaner of Team KKF2A Quote
FISUR Posted September 15, 2002 Posted September 15, 2002 We have placed a number of books in the wild. Most recently, one of the kids placed a Bookcrossing book in the "Two If By Sea" Cache which is right along the Atlantic coast. The book is still there. See: http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.asp?ID=23986 Only one person has been to this cache since we left the book. We hope the book finds a good home. Team FISUR Quote
+The GeoGadgets Team Posted September 15, 2002 Posted September 15, 2002 I believe that this was the first cache completely dedicated to Bookcrossing.com: HERE. It is true that the majority of the people who find either forgot to bring their Bookcrossing book to trade or didn't plan for it, and in those cases they have stuck to the rules by signing the log and taking/leaving nothing. I was really hoping that this summer that cache would get a lot of activity, but the others on the beaches did. I should be happy for ANY activity this summer, due to all of the fires. I did get an email recently from some folks on Bookcrossing.com that read my profile, and wrote to ask more questions about Geocaching. THAT is a good side of it. I've even agreed to swap some books via snail mail in order to place them in this cache from people who normally can't get to this area. Pretty cool. I would just like to see more of the books move... they are just like Travel Bugs to me. RedwoodRed How much red would a redwood red if a redwood could red wood? Quote
+The GeoGadgets Team Posted September 15, 2002 Posted September 15, 2002 Doing a search on "bookcrossing" turns up a whole lotta references! Cache On! Quote
+Snowtrail Posted September 16, 2002 Posted September 16, 2002 geocaching.com wheresgeorge.com bookcrossing.com See a pattern here??? I found a bookcrossing book in a local movie theater. I had heard of it, but had never found one in the wild, or a cache for that matter. So, I am in possession of a book I plan to take far far away. Geocaching Carolinas Quote
Rubbertoe Posted September 19, 2002 Posted September 19, 2002 I just signed up over there as well... however, it is against every bone in my body to take MY books and just give them away. I mean, what did I just buy this big bookshelf for? - Toe. --==< Rubbertoe's Webcam, Photo Albums, and Homepage >==-- Quote
