It's easy to find books, share books, and meet fellow book lovers.

I love this idea as all you do is pop into cafes/museums anywhere the book crossing operates and browse the books and take one home to read then return and make a comment on-line if you want to!
My caffee Nero in Ipswich has two big shelves upstairs and we buy coffee but there is no obligation to do so and browse the books. Also a good place to leave read books too!!
Heat for reminding everyone about Book Crossing. It's a great way of recycling your no longer wanted books and picking up new ones to read for free. Ignore the comment above - 212 negative posts and counting. Probably knows as little about all the other deals he's commented on as he does about Book Crossing.

An adaptation of something they do round here - defunct. red telephone boxes in villages are used as 'libraries'. Full of books. Leave one/ take one. It's a social thing. Great idea.

What a great idea. I'm an avid reader and have never heard of this so not sure if it operates locally. I always take my unwanted books to charity shops to pass on. Do participating sites display that book crossing logo? Sorry, I'm being lazy.... I'll Google for more info!

Who said anything about buying books? This is about recycling unwanted books.

I win a lot of books, most I don't really want to keep once I've read them. :smiley:
