Yep. We ran a short story on it, and our web guy mentioned it in a column once, too. But there haven't been too many Bookcrossers here before my fiance and I joined up. We're personally responsible for about 6 out of 16.

Well, my second catch certainly went to the right person. The interesting thing about this is that the Seeds of Hope thrift store is where I bought the copy of the book, and I was just thinking that I should work up the …

I've been aiming for places that are likely to get a lot of traffic before any cleaners come through. I've tried a few pay phones (no one ever cleans pay phones, and they always have a handy shelf for the phone book, plu…

OK, so the person who found my book didn't write much of a journal entry ... but wahoooooo! What a rush!
I have increased my city's BCer population to 14.
The book that got found was the copy of 1984 that I clever…

Well, I'm an atheist, so I wasn't planning to give out Bibles anyway. Just some novels that wouldn't be too likely to be offensive - ordinary, Oprah's Book Club kind of stuff. Maybe something more risque for the Unitaria…

Anyone had much luck releasing at churches? It seems like a good, wholesome community activity, so I was wondering if it's the sort of thing a church might get involved in (maybe as a project for the youth group).

That doesn't count - it'll only show up when I open the individual book file. I'd like a way for it to show up when I'm looking at my list of books, when I first go to my bookshelf.
I'd also like them to count in my r…

Did I forget to mention that I planned to hand out books *with* candy? Don't worry, I know all about kids and goodies. It hasn't been that long since I was a kid myself. ;-)

No, that won't work - when I look at all my books on my bookshelf, they won't have the "in the wild" icon. I want to make sure they show up as releases, since I won't have them any more (and even though I'm handing them …

LOL. Funny, but I think I'd like to indicate that it's in Bismarck. We have 2/3 of the statewide releases already. Those guys in Fargo need to get on the ball!

My fiance's sister and I are both planning to give out books to trick-or-treaters. How should we list them? Just "N/A" for location and a note that they were given away?
I'd prefer to give them official release notes…

Actually, Quark is mostly a Mac program - it's what I use at work (at a newspaper). The only problem is it costs something like $900.
The best method is to find a friend who has Quark, PageMaker, or InDesign, and inst…

I don't know ... I tried it that way, and I thought it was too hard to see what the running book was.
But I might experiment with some different versions ... I'll post them if I come up with some more. :-)
Btw, the…

Wow, that was fast. :-)
The big inside labels are Avery 8164 - six labels per sheet. (The number goes with the inkjet pack of 25 sheets, but any sheet with the same size label will work.) The labels are 3 1/3" by 4". …

I just joined this week, and I have the most member referrals in the whole state of North Dakota.
OK, so it's only two ... but I'm number one!
Come on - there must be more North Dakotans *somewhere*.
