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.
