Bookcrossing

So yesterday lunch time I found this at the bus stop near Ealing Common Tube station. Now in my internet travels I was aware of the bookcrossing phenomenon and was delighted to find a book that had just been released.


Basically the premise of bookcrossing is that you leave a book in a special bookcrossing bag on a train, bus stop, coffee shop or even bus stop etc. for someone to pick it up. The collector can look the book up on-line, leave a journal entry, read it and then release back into the world for the next person.

Kind of like a benevolent, literary act of randomness.
