Contact Information:-


Of course you can PM me through the link above, but I've been told that PMs can be unreliable. You can directly email me at [email protected], but please include the word "bookcrossing" in the subject line to trigger the traps.


About me:-


If you are displeased with any of my actions, please let me know first by PM or email rather than start a thread. If it was truly a mistake I'll make every effort to correct it. You can also find me at en.wikipedia.org/---/User:Loom91" target="_blank">en.wikipedia.org/---/User:Loom91 and www.flickr.com/---/loom91" target="_blank">www.flickr.com/---/loom91. By the way, Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia anyone (including you) can edit, is a great concept and spiritually analogous to the BookCrossing movement. If you appreciate the concept of BookCrossing then you will certainly like Wikipedia. Just go to their main page, find out what they are about, sign up, and play your part in the Open Information Revolution. Wikipedia is the world's largest encyclopedia, one of the web's most popular websites and is being called the next Google.
