This is not an ordinary book: it's a BookCrossing book! BookCrossing books are world travelers - they like to have adventures and make new friends...and every once in a while they even write home to say what they've been doing.

Bargain book from The Strand in New York City: larger photo here - after following link, click on image to zoom.

Thought I would read this for kiwiinengland's 2016 Around the World Reading Challenge, but I realized I'd already read it quite a few years ago, so I'll let it go instead.

Here's another copy on my BookCrossing shelf.

Monday, July 25, 2016: left hanging from a tree along Ward Avenue, near the (soon to be closed) Sports Authority store. (Larger photo here - after following link, click on image to zoom.)

Wild released for AlterEgoZoe's Leap into the Wild Challenge.

I'm so glad you've found this book!

Please take a moment to make a journal entry and let the book's previous readers know that it's safe with you.

How and where did you find the book? What did you think of it? What are you going to do with it next?

It's now your book, for you to do with as you please: keep it, pass it to a friend, or maybe even leave it where someone else can find it!

If you've ever wondered where your books go after they leave your hands, join BookCrossing and you may find out: you'll be able to follow the further adventures of your books as new readers make journal entries - sometimes from surprisingly far-flung locations.

(Think of it like Where's George for books: a little like geocaching or a treasure hunt - you can follow a registered book's journey every time someone makes a new entry. Some BookCrossers even leave books *in* geocaches!)
