This is not an ordinary book: it's a BookCrossing book! BookCrossing books are world travelers - they like to have adventures and make new friends...and every once in a while they even write home to say what they've been doing.

Hardcover with dust jacket from the CUC thrift shop: larger photo here.

Sounds like an interesting read, and I'm sure the recipes are delicious...but if I'm honest, I'm probably too lazy to try them. (Although I am tempted by the chutneys and some of the vegetable dishes.)

Monday, August 21, 2017: sending this off to a member of the birthday group - I hope it arrives in time, and I hope your day is wonderful!

I'm so glad you've found this book!

Please take a moment to make a journal entry and let this book's previous readers know that it's safe with you.

How and where did you find the book? What did you think of it? What are you going to do with it next?

It's now your book, for you to do with as you please: keep it, pass it to a friend, or maybe even leave it where someone else can find it!

If you've ever wondered where your books go after they leave your hands, join BookCrossing and you may find out: you'll be able to follow the further adventures of your books as new readers make journal entries - sometimes from surprisingly far-flung locations.

(Think of it like Where's George for books: a little like geocaching or a treasure hunt - you can follow a registered book's journey every time someone makes a new entry. Some BookCrossers even leave books *in* geocaches!)

BookCrossing: making the whole world a library!

Thank you for the wishlist book! You've made my birthday special!
