Mini-Book Mini-Challenge

topic posted Sat, February 24, 2007 - 1:32 PM by  Bladerunner
I have a pile of mini-books- some 2 3/4" x 3" and a couple of 1 1/2" x 2 1/2". I'm trying to think of a good challenge for these. I've only got about 10 total at the moment, but I don't mind coming up with a handful more for a really good idea.

Thoughts so far:

--they make really good tiny additions to packages being mailed
--they tuck into people's pockets & bags easily (people you know, please- no sense getting nabbed for attempted pick-pocketing)
--might be able to sneak them into people's piles of stuff, like "accidentally" dropping them in a shopping cart at the grocery store or wherever shopping carts are used
--leaving them in really obvious places, figuring their size will make them just a little harder to find. Counters in the mall food court came to mind.

A concern I have: how the heck to get a useful BCID sticker/plate/label onto the books without obliterating the cover or inside information completely.
I'm going to try to shrink some .jpgs & .gifs I have, and see if they're still legible, then look for a page with as much white space as possible, and maybe use a sticky note to make sure that page is obvious.

I'm "bldrnrpdx5" on BC. I'm really interested in suggestions, ideas, & input.
