PS about the above - once you get to know the other bx'ers in your area it might be fun to organise a mass release at a certain post office. That should make the miserable old cows day!!

I assume that like me, the first thing anyone does when coming across a new crosser is to look on t…

Hi all, I don't think I'm really a newbie anymore - been doing this a couple of months now and love it. What I want to say is that I think I chose the wrong screen name - I'm not lonely anymore and hearing from book cro…

You don't have tp bother with 'ziplock' bags which are quite pricey. I use clear 'pockets' for filing in binders which cost very little. You just need to put the book inside, with book crossing labels showing of course…

I wonder how to refer friends to book crossing and have it show up as a new member referal. Obviously, one can just say to friends go to bookcrossing.com and check it out and others (hopefully) will follow up a 'caught' …
