Journal Entry 1 by cosmicflurk from San Diego, California USA on Wednesday, July 20, 2005

In honor of the San Diego Comic-Con, I have put together a bookbox for graphic novels, manga, and comic strip collections.

I started this journal to accompany Issue #1 of the bookbox. (Please see journal entry #25 for current participants.)

Have a good journey, little book box!

Off to R2 in Canada. Economy post to Canada can apparently take several weeks, so the box may be on the road for awhile before it actually reaches R2.
 

Journal Entry 15 by R2 from Calgary, Alberta Canada on Friday, December 09, 2005

I recieved this in the mail yesterday. My daughter is dying to raid it. I should be able to send it out by Thursday. 

Journal Entry 16 by R2s-D2 from Calgary, Alberta Canada on Sunday, December 18, 2005

As for what R2 said I almost did die trying to raid it. Our basment is a mess and I almost tripped over at least 10 things trying to get upstairs to the box when it came. Not to mention running into walls because my socks are slippery on linolium floors. Anyways, we got what we wanted and replaced them. Sending the box to deadendmind tomorrow. Hope you like the box and THANK YOU!!! Manga5 for the Mew Mew book. I've been trying to read all of them. As it stands I only need 2,4, and 1 of A'la Mode. Now I'm just rambling. Bye!!

Journal Entry 18 by C3 from Calgary, Alberta Canada on Monday, December 19, 2005

Despite what my daughter just wrote - I still had to do my journal entry before sending off the book box. This was the first book box I have gotten anything out of so it was a new experience for me. I enjoyed the book box - didn't think I would since unlike R2 and R2s-D2, I am not into Manga. I did however find one that I like and have replaced it with one of my own. I will be sending it out tomorrow after work.

I'm sorry for keeping the box for so long! I'm done with it now and I will send it to the next participant as soon as possible.

Thanks for letting me participate Cosmicflurk, it was a lovely bookbox!

I took three books: Raven's Children: Shadow of the Snow Fox Part One, Garfield Sits Around The House and The Complete Bone Adventures (Vol.2 Issues 7-12).

I added three of mine: Bad Company, Crazy Combinations and Look Dad, I'm flying!.

Serendipity-sg (changed screen name to s3rendipity) has asked to be skipped so I sent the box to Bluestar741 a couple of days ago. Enjoy!

Thanks deadendmind for mailing this box to us. Thanks to cosmicflurk for starting this bookbox! ^_^ It's almost home.
Sadly, the box did not survive the trip from Greece but the contents are okay and nothing seems to be missing. Will try to mail before next week.

Journal Entry 30 by azuki from Miami, Florida USA on Tuesday, October 03, 2006

Just received the box at work. Dying to take it home to go through it. Thanks everybody it's my first bookbox so I am so HAPPY! 

Journal Entry 31 by azuki from Miami, Florida USA on Monday, November 06, 2006

First of all, my apologies for keeping the book for so long. I was inspired by deadendmind to include a book to represent my culture (Hong Kong), which took a while to arrive. (I have another one, Hero, that I love so much I will start a bookray; please check the forum.)

This box is a nice potpourri of graphic novels, cartoons and mangas. I have taken out eight books and put in the same number, and now it's on its way to Bluestar741.

Thanks everybody for the books and cosmicflurk especially. Please count me in for your next round, and the next, and the next!

ETA: Mailed 11-6, USPS 0306 0320 0003 7973 5413.
ETA: Delivered Nov 10.
