Ok... ok... pretend I'm retarded here...

When I click that link - what am I seeing???

What is it all about???

Something to do with books, but that's all I understand about it.

You register your book on the site, then leave it lying around, and someone else is supposed to find it and read it and pass it on. Sort of vaguely like that where's George site where you can enter the serial number on your money and see where it's been.

I think it's a really cool idea, but I wonder how many of those books are now in landfills :(

Anyhow, there isn't a drop sight near here, but I was going to show this to my brother - maybe he'd like to make his ice cream stand a drop site ;)

I missed your posts. Yeah, bookcrossing is the deal where you register and leave books around. Bookrelay is where you take your registered books and trade them

Say you see 1234567890 written by abcdefg You replace that with a book of your own. The person sends you the book, and you wait until a person accepts YOUR book, and you send it to them.
