Another wonderful surprise to come home to after a long, hard day at work. I thank you, bazil74 for this book from my wishlist. It's been on the list a long while and I'm so happy now to have a chance to read it. It does look like the stuff of BookCrossing! Many thanks indeed.

Edited to add: I read this one in on sitting today and will be sending off to another BookCrosser in this Birthday RABCK group. Good luck little book!

A really quick read. Lots of ideas. Some I wouldn't do. Others didn't seem so much like Random Acts of Kindness to me, just like things people do all the time. At least around here.

Received in the mail yesterday and I've already read it! Thank you, jmsmom!

I agree that some of the items in the book are "no-brainers," and a few sounded to me like less than true kindness (give someone your old, ratty item you don't want anymore...). But some were fun ideas, and I enjoyed the very British slant. I got a kick out of the suggestion to give your bus driver a pot plant. I think that would get you arrested here! (In my neck of the woods, we say "potted plant"; pot is marijuana!) And there were some I didn't understand at all: "Play knock down ginger, but leave a little gift.." Not sure what knock down ginger is!

I'm a big fan of Danny Wallace so this is a nice addition to my Wallace library! His books seem to be harder to come by on this side of the Atlantic so the collection is growing very slowly :)

Thanks again for this nice RABCK!
