My wife and I read a lot and have come to the point were too many piles of books are starting to form in our house. Having seen the film 'Iris' we know that this sort of this can escalate and in the end the men in white coats come to take you away. A year ago we decided to act in order to reduce the number of books in our house and give away books we had read to friends and colleagues.

Then I read about bookcrossing and thought 'this a really good idea!' We will be releasing quite a few books and hope that they will travel the world (like we do) and make lots of friends.

I also collect antiquarian books about the Netherlands, but won't be releasing any of those.
