I've thought of writing "BookCrossing.com" and "FREE BOOK" along the sides of the pages, you know, opposite the spine. That way it can't be torn out. Someone would have to use a marking pen to scratch off the whole thi…

Is that how it works? I just listed them today, but printed the labels on other days.

Yes, that would be great if I could click a link that says "list of numbers" instead of "download labels." However, now that my Adobe Reader works, I can just download the labels and use the numbers without printing tho…

...or -- it could have a place to click on the last few cities and states where you released anything. Most people would have one or two cities at most. A few people may have several. That would be a nice feature. Ev…

All you have to do is open a new e-mail that you address to yourself, and as you come across a book you want, copy and paste it to the e-mail. When you're done for the day on BookCrossing, just hit send so you'll send t…

I made a .jpg from one of the pics of the little walking book, then I cropped out the part I didn't need, and kept only that image. I can shrink it and make a label to put on a book's spine. It's easy. Try it.

One who signs up directly through us can be a first degree referral, and any who sign up through them, or later through several degrees, can just be called second degree. I don't think anybody really needs to know how m…

My husband probably won't want a bumper sticker on our new car, and the old one is dying, but he'd be okay with a decal that isn't too overpowering. So how about not-too-large decals that go inside the back window?

I put most labels inside the front cover with clear packing tape, and I wrap it sort of around the front of the cover so people aren't tempted to remove the label and sell them on ebay. [They'll have to rip off the enti…

If there's no BCID number in the book, just click on REGISTER BOOK to the left [yellow area] and you'll be assigned a number for that book when you put in the information.

If people read it and pass it on, even if they don't register it, maybe the tenth person to read it will write a journal entry, and you'll see it in several months to a year or so! Don't worry about the journal entries,…

Oops, the topic went to another page, so my reply didn't follow, therefore doesn't make sense. The funny thing is the computer chip idea, and saying that BookCrossing.com will send someone to pick up the book, or whatev…

I am decluttering my house, so I'm doing a good thing with books for which I have no storage room. If nobody registers that they've found one, I haven't lost anything. But -- I figure somebody's gotta find at least one…

Later today I'll do a few more books and I'll write down what happens after each step I take. You can't fix it if I can't tell you what I did, right? :-)

Ummm... I started by clicking on release notes, since I already have the BCID numbers from pre-printed labels. After I add the BCID number and go to the next page to enter the ISBN code, it says "You've found a book!" …

I'm using the pre-numbered labels. I think this means I don't register. So what do I do? I went to make release notes, or something, but then it said if I'm not the one to register the book, I can't do whatever it was…
