I must be crazy, but I decided to join the Lifetime Release Challenge: To release a book to every country of the world. This will take forever and I might never finish. But I am crazy enough to give it a try.

The original thread for this challenge by charbono is here.
List of participants here.

Everybody seems to have different rules, how to go about this. I decided to give myself a head start and to include all books released so far. I will include RABCKs, trades, swaps, rings, rays, wild releases - as long as they have been journalled by someone else and that someone wasn't anonymous.

UPDATE 12/05/06 - rings & rays - I am only including people here, who have received a book from me directly. I am not including every single participant in that ring.
