As there's still no word from Lisbeth, I've been browsing - as you do - and I've discovered 'bookcrossing'.
This is a really cool site for book lovers. It involves what they call the 3 Rs: Read, Register and Release. You register a book you own and have enjoyed on http://www.bookcrossing.com/ and then 'release it into the wild' by leaving it in a coffee bar, restaurant, hotel, on a park bench or on a train etc. The finder can then read it and, in their turn, pass it on again. A label inside the book explains the process and encourages each new owner to make a journal entry for that book on the site.
In this way it is possible to track the book's journey around the country or, in some cases, around the world. As I write, the most travelled book has 230 journal entries!
