BookCrossing

BookCrossing in the Real World

This region is founded and populated by the people from the BookCrossing online community, http://www.bookcrossing.com

The idea of BookCrossing is this - you read a book, register it on the BookCrossing website, and then release the book (give it to a friend, leave it in a public place, give it to a charity bookstore, trade with another BookCrossing user, etc). When other people find the book, they can go to the BookCrossing website, see comments from the people who've read that copy of the book in the past, and add their own thoughts before they release it again.

People use the site in lots of different ways - trading books from their collections, sharing a copy of a book among a bookring, releasing books at bus stations, coffee shops, hunting for books that have been released, etc.

BookCrossing in NationStates

The nations of BookCrossing are small to large islands in the Bibliographic Ocean.

Although large areas of pristine wilderness still exist, the increasing harvest of forests for paper production to support book publishing is taking its toll - except where the information technology is advanced enough to allow the distribution of ebooks, which both get a higher circulation and prevent the lands of the region from deforestation.
