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.

Hardcover with no dust jacket and no ISBN: not sure where this one came from, but it's time for it to move on.

This particular copy has a note inside: "Pond Ridge Poultry Farm".

To be released in the Exhibition Hall during the Great Aloha Run Expo, February 17-19, 2017: hopefully someone will decide to take it home!

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

Please take a moment to make a journal entry and let this 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!)

BookCrossing: making the whole world a library!

Unclaimed at the end of the Expo, so it came home with me; I'll have to find another way to send it out into the world...

Wednesday, March 1, 2017: left this classic mystery in the very nice LFL right near Ruger Market. (Larger photo here - after following link, click on image to zoom.)

UPDATES:

• In the box on 7/8/17, although the LFL was having a bad case of ants. I may rescue this book if it's still there the next time I visit. (And if it doesn't get eaten up!)

• Labor Day, 9/4/17: still there: I'll have to go back with more books at some point and switch out some of the reluctant travelers.

Reclaimed from the LFL; I'll try to find another home for this book.
