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.

Not sure where this little hardcover came from, but this type of book always reminds me of my friend Mark, who had a vast collection of books, including quite a few "bathroom readers" - which I had the opportunity to see on the numerous occasions when he and his wife opened their home to other members of the origami community.
