I've been on BC since April 2003, and I must say that the Internet has changed over those 14 years. It's really difficult to escape the Facebook juggernaut. Practically all the mailing lists I was on in the 2000s have mi…

I love releasing books in the LFL near my home (which technically is in the next town over, but it's on my way home). I don't worry about the book getting rained on, or thrown in the trash. I haven't scored a catch yet, …

Wow, this has been eye-opening to say the least! Any reports of policies from the North American side of the pond? I'm guessing that op-shops are like second-hand shops or charity-run thrift stores here in the U.S.

Weren't there some ads on the side before? Maybe there weren't enough "click-throughs." I think the BC site gets more money if people actually click on the ad links.

Yeah, I know that that's a really small number compared with most of you here, but I'm so swamped with books I'd registered *before* the challenge that I didn't want to acquire a whole bunch more just for the challenge.

Just a few hours? Well, I'd probably spend that precious time doing things that require lots of upper-body strength, such as moving furniture, rock climbing, doing chin-ups, opening all the unopened jars in the house, et…
