IF YOU DON'T WANT TO STORE BOOKS, GIVE 'EM AWAY
Larry Mitchell writes: "If you love your books, set them free!"
He included the following web address:
http://www.bookcrossing.com/homeFrom the web site:
"What is BookCrossing, you ask? It's a global book club that
crosses time and space. It's a reading group that knows no
geographical boundaries. Do you like free books? How about
free book clubs?. Well, the books our members leave in the
wild are free... but it's the act of freeing books that points to
the heart of BookCrossing. Book trading has never been more
exciting, more serendipitous, than with BookCrossing. Our
goal, simply, is to make the whole world a library. BookCrossing
is a book exchange of infinite proportion, the first and only of its
kind.[Basically, the concept is similar to the Where's George? web
site where people can record the serial number of U.S. notes
that pass through their hands. This site does the same for books.
The idea is to pass your book along to someone else, or leave it
in a public place where a stranger could find it. Subsequent
readers then record their thoughts on the web site and pass the
book along once more.This would be an interesting way to distribute coin books to
potential hobbyists. -Editor]- 2003-11-09
