    Hmmm, I think I need to find an appropriate graphic to upload. Maybe the running book one from the BX site?

    Hey Tom,

    I signed up at Bookcrossing. as Coelacanth.

    Now, to figure out this Bookcrossing deal.

    The thing is, I recycle most of my books by selling them to Bookman's for booktrade credit so I can get more books. But sometimes there's a perfectly good book they don't want, so I'll release those... as soon as I figure this all out.

      Hi there Ellen Bee. A lot of people on the bookcrossing site work with books .. as booksellers, book re-sellers, authors, editors, etc. So, I don't think your current method of trading books back for credit will interfere.

      Many of us will buy cheap books just to release them. I do this a lot ... I bid on big book lots on e-bay and get books for like .40 a piece. The ones that interest me go on my to be read pile and the one's that don't go on the to be released pile. I haven't released recently because I've had some personal problems ... but I find it a lot of fun. There's something magical about leaving a book out hoping that you can pass on your love of reading. I'd love if all my books got registered but I think just having one person get into reading is well worth all of it. All about karma.

      Have you still not figured it out? It looks like your bookshelf is empty. I have known people who have donated books to goodwill or sold them at a garage sale but still registered with bookcrossing to see where they end up. I have personally entered a lot of books that I don't plan to release just to have them all in one place - an electronic bookshelf. It's a nice way to track my to read pile and prioritize. Good luck!
