I love the idea of giving away books for free to find new life that I even set up a Bookcrossing Zone in my store this week. Lots of our customers have even agreed to drop in books that they no longer want to fill our FREE bookcase with books. It is such a wonderful way to share joy!!!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06893669562473986542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6789689551731499139.post-88784591912949066222012-08-08T19:59:46.029+01:002012-08-08T19:59:46.029+01:00Ooh ooh ooh, I'd never heard of this and ooh o...Ooh ooh ooh, I'd never heard of this and ooh ooh ooh, there's one in Bournemouth!

And I have found a second in Essex, so I shall certainly be paying them both a visit when I can.<br />You may also be interested in another source of free books. I posted about it here: <br />http://itchifingers.blogspot.co.uk/2012/08/more-bookcrossing.htmlSandiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12558786621283350776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6789689551731499139.post-85992777587787580462012-08-07T17:08:21.184+01:002012-08-07T17:08:21.184+01:00What a great organization with a noble purpose!
