Journal Entry 1 by  hyphen8 from Honolulu, Hawaii USA on Tuesday, October 20, 2009
 This bookbox journal will be traveling soon with a mostly cassette audiobox. I'm not going to set a lot of rules for this, just these:
1. Please journal when you receive the box.
2. List what you're taking out and putting in. It doesn't have to be an exact exchange with the number of cassettes/discs matching, but try to be fair. For example, don't take all the CDs and replace with cassettes.
a. I'd like it if you'd list what you're taking out & putting in here but
b. Please make a note in the little pink journal book too - it's supposed to be a packing list.
c. If you'd like to write where you're from or any other notes in the journal, feel free.
d. Please do get your money's worth for the postage; take as many from the box as you wish
as long as the replacements pretty much even things out. :D
3. Journal to say the box & journal are on their way again, hopefully within a couple of weeks
4. Send by whatever method works for you: media mail is fine.
5. Please leave this journal in the box for next person. |
Mailed to the first person Saturday 10/24. Media mail from here usually takes about 3 weeks; YMMV.
Current order: please check here before sending on the box, just in case there are additions/changes

Journal Entry 13 by NMReader from Herndon, Virginia USA on Tuesday, February 02, 2010
I thought an update might be appreciated.
I have listened to:
Nature Girl by Carl Hiaasen 4 CD's has some damaged areas - might just need cleaning
Lucky Man Michael J Fox 5 CDs
(I have not journaled these CDs yet - I don't have internet at home yet but will bring BCID to work and do)
I will be adding Wicked by Gregory Macguire which is 14 or 16 CDs - has some damaged areas - might just need cleaning
I will probably take:
Fury by Salman Rushdie 8 CD's and maybe a cassette set or two from the box.
I hope to make decisions and get box in mail over weekend.
Feb 12: We have had quite the series of snowstorms and unfortunately I didn't get this mailed before they hit. I will try to get this ready to mail tonight and take to the PO in the morning. I still need to journal Lucky Man and Nature Girl also. Sorry limited internet access is makinig it hard to stay on top of my Bookcrossing entries.

Journal Entry 17 by hyphen8 at Honolulu, Hawaii USA on Sunday, August 01, 2010
Sadly, I learned that wamstreet passed away some time after she received this box. I have not been able to contact her family to ask if they've found the box or the journal, so I will try to start a replacement box at some time in the near future. My apologies to those still waiting for the box.
Edit: Here's the replacement box.
