Cool BookCrossing thing!

This is so cool! I used to do a lot of wild releases for BC. I had a pretty good Find rate for a while. I just got a BC email w/a journal entry for a book I released in Jan. 2003. Somebody bought it (boo!) at a yard sale in the British Virgin Islands! WooHoo! Would love to know its travels, & how it got there.

All the ones I released have no clue what happened to them :(
Fun you found out about one of yours :)

I've never looked at paperbackswap, though I bookmarked it the other day. I'll check into it eventually.
The idea of a wild release in BC is that you register a book on the site, giving it a BC number. You put a note on the front saying FREE Book, & a note inside, with the BC number, asking the finder to go to the BC site & make a journal entry for that book. (They find it on the site by the BC number). Then you leave it somewhere. The hope is that the person who finds it will go on the BC site & make a Journal entry saying that they found the book. You then get a BC email showing you their Journal entry. The further hope is that that person will relese it, & the next person will make a journal entry, etc. In reality, it doesn't work all that well. Most finders don't go on the BC site & make journal entries. :( But it's great fun when they do, & you get that email. :)
