My thoughts on the book;

Not read by me, but this was either bought as part of a bulk-buy "10 for £1" offer at a "withdrawn" books sale at Chelmsford Library, or as part of a bulk-buy "two books for 50p" charity shop deal, or left at our staff canteen along with other books people had finished with; or has been "donated" to the BookCrossing cause (or "your Book Travelling-thingy", as he calls it) by my dear Father.

The attached journal image should give you an idea which one of those sources this book came from. ;-)

Below review / text taken from; http://www.amazon.co.uk/Secrets-Fire-King-Kim-Edwards/dp/0143112309/;

"Kim Edwards is a highly gifted writer with a wonderful grasp of both character and language. While many of her locales are exotic, the characters are very recognizable in their humanity. Some stories made me cry, and others made me want to shake some sense into the characters. This book is an amazing first effort, and I look forward to Ms. Edwards' future works." - A. Customer.

I'll be leaving this book on the black marble "Topshop" window ledge, right at the end where it meets "Timpson", the next shop along, in New London Road, Chelmsford, Essex, CM1.

I've tried to highlight where I'll be dropping the book with a red circle on the attached journal image. If it's not left there (as some idiot has now started sitting there nearly every day around 12 -1pm, waiting for a bus), it'll be just a bit further down on the same window ledge / the next pane along etc.

Topshop is technically part of the "High Chelmer Shopping Centre", but it's address is 2, New London Road. You can see the location of the High Chelmer Shopping Centre at this Google Maps link below;

It'll have a yellow "PICK ME UP" note stuck on its front, featuring an all new random free gift, and be in a clear plastic bag.

Microsoft Office Word Label and Bookmark Templates;

A lot of us BookCrossers use sheets of shop-bought sticky labels to put the BCID numbers on our books, myself included. I've made up several BookCrossing label templates and other bits and bobs in MS Word, and if you would like any of them, drop me a Private Message with your requirements, and I can directly link you to what might be suitable for you.
