TRUMPETER: *blasts away*

HERALD:Ahem, ahem...

LORDS! LADIES! SCRIBES! And assorted animal folk of the Bookcrossing Realm, be they scaly, furry or feathery!

By order of the Edict of the Land, the written scrolls herein art BOUND indefinitely and deemed unwise for unmonitored and unfettered release.

Temporary parole may be sought by holders of the KEY or by the power of the Ring. Keyholders know who they are (If you need to ask...) but those desirious to be Ringbearers (to nominate books good enough for temporary release) may present their appeals through the offices of our Commoner Servant.

Mayhaps, thy cries may be heard and the scrolls be set forth a-journeying. Bear in mind, part them not from their Parole Scroll, and return them in good shape to the Keep.
