  • Does anyone remember a few years ago the book one they started doing...where you left a book and then someone could take it, read it then leave it for the next person...they were to be logged on a website...can't remember what it was called. Anyone decided to liberate one of my (then) employers books (teehee) outside our office on KFC's wall! Anyone, a group of thugs came along and ripped it to bits!!! So much for sharing culture!!!
    :confused:


    Its still going. I see them around london quite often - in coffee shops, railway stations(before the cleaner gets them) and there was one left in primark the other day too.

    not my kind of book though.

    i was over in america earlier this year and got a one dollar note with a red stamp web address where you entered where you were in teh country, mine had been to california and new york among others before it found its way to miami :eek:

    The website is http://www.bookcrossing.com/
  • I found one on Friday night in East Dulwich. My bloke & I are keen on street art so we're pretty pleased about it & it's got pride of place in the lounge.
  • Yes, nice to hear someone got one and they will appreciate it rather than be out to make a quick £ :)

    congrats!
