'I' is actually 'we', as although I managed this bit of our lives, we are avid readers and contribute equally to the book bill. The other half of 'we' is Mrs Gifford, who indeed discovered our first capture, and got the ball rolling so to speak.

We started in August 2006, and had a wonderful feeling of altruism sharing our reading material; the good and the bad I'm afraid, over the years. However, I have just registered my last book, in March 2013, and we are 'retiring' from the Book Crossing world.

We have had about seven years of fun laying out the books (and not hopefully being seen) and watching them travel, some admittedly, much better than others! However, times change, and this was our very last book.

What? oh, you want me to leave my kindle out for someone to find, so they can reads my downloads? I think not.............
