I thought I had my filters set up to accept anything from bookcrossing, but maybe I haven't included the correct info. Wouldn't any e-mails have the word bookcrossing in them? If not, that could be the problem.

The city I chose has new releases almost every day, so that's not the problem. I sent an e-mail to the address you suggested, but haven't heard anything back yet. Maybe I'll choose some other cities and see what happen…

I've never read American Gods, I haven't been able to get a copy of it, but Good Omens is one of my all-time favorites. It's co-written with Terry Pratchett, who has his own take on gods, and who is my favorite author. …

As far as I know, they're all still there. Check the "Go Hunting" page before you go, or call the shop like I did and ask if they're still there. The man on the phone was very helpful!!

I hope so too!! I almost laughed out loud when the guy told me they had them behind the counter so no one would take them! I didn't fill him in, as I was hoping I could pick them up, but since I can't, I hope someone e…

My favorite bookcrossing zone has a new release today, a Dr. Seuss book. He's offering a free balloon if a child comes in to claim the book.

Personally, I think you should be able to register any book you want, but you shouldn't "release" it unless it's yours to release and leave somewhere. When I go hunting, and a book is listed as having been left at a lib…

I own a book of fairy tales, I've had it for years, but the binding is falling apart badly. Can I fix it myself, or would it be cheaper to pay someone else to do it?

My computer isn't showing anything from today, it still seems to think it's 10/15/02. Is the server down? When I go hunting, "Today's" releases are dated 10/15/02.

I haven't seen any either, but a friend of mine wants to release one. She just needs to get her hands on a book she's willing to let go of. When she does, she'll release it in the Portland area.

I've been leaving most of my books there, I'm trying to see that Crantfords becomes an "official" crossing zone, too. The guy who picked up the SuperCat book never registered it, though.
