Journal Entry 1 by AngelChild from Rochester, Kent United Kingdom on Monday, April 04, 2005

This is the Book Box that will be replacing my Book Box No 2 which seems to be dead :o(

Please take as many books out as you like but replace (ie - if you take out 3, put in 3) so there will always be 10 in the box.

Journal the books you take (using their BCID's), and make release notes for the ones you add :o) Please also journal here (letting us all know you've received the box/sent it on). I will put a card in the box giving this BCID, please remember to put it back in the box before sealing it up.

PLEASE NOTE! You DO NOT need to read any of the books (like a Ring/Ray)It's basically a straight swap/trade, so please don't hold on to the box for more than 2 weeks. Take out the books you want to read, and read at your leisure.

If the box gets really damaged please replace, Thanks :o)

List of participants:

tiggsybabes
dodau
Iagegu
blum
camis

This box was the replacement for the box that went missing and then resurfaced. In the mean time this replacement had already gone out. If you were a participant of the last one, you will probably be registered to this one. You are under no obligation to have both so please decline when you are PM'd
