While enjoying a welcome cup of coffee in The Coffee House, Weston-super-Mare during a short break in the West Country last week, I donated a couple of books to their bookswap shelf - and brought this one home with me instead! I don't know why, except that the title and cover art appealed to me! Oh how shallow! I should know better than to judge a book by its cover .... :-)

I'm afraid this didn't capture my imagination within an acceptable timeframe, so I gave up on it!

Left on the fundraising book trolley in A&E.

Over a million people around the world give their books a unique BookCrossing IDentity number (BCID) before sending them out to find new readers. Since the start of the scheme in April 2001 more than ten million such books have been put into circulation. This is one of them!

Our hope is that we can track the progress of our books once they've left our hands - and that's possible if finders like you visit the website, key in the BCID and leave a comment, however long or short. It's fun, it doesn't have to cost anything, although the site always appreciates donations towards running costs, and you can remain anonymous if you wish. You don't have to join but if you do you'll be able to number and track your own books!
