Charleston Bookcrossing

The BookCrossing Convention has come and gone– BookCrossers from all over the world came and painted the town Ballycumber yellow. The best guesstimate of number of books released was around 2000– but that’s just a guess based on release notes. No telling how many were just left in the wild without a release note, or were passed from hand to hand etc. You’ll find a lot of pictures over at flickr, where a number of people pooled their photos together in a group. Pictures below is the cake (made by Wade over at The Frosted Monkey on Ashley River Road) for our opening reception.

Life has continued here in the Holy City for local BookCrossers. The post-convention updates will be less frequent, but you can always find us on yahoo group and at our monthly get togethers around town. Check our Local Events page here, too, for meetings, or the BookCrossing Conventions and Meetings Forum. And be sure to keep your eyes out for books in the wild!
