I don't really have a good summary for BookCrossing.com Basically you are leaving a book in a location, and people will go on BookCrossing and see where you left it. Its kind of like geocaching, but you are mostly exchanging info through books. I think this might be a good idea leaving some RP books. If someone is on the internet on a site like this, chances are they will actually sit down and read the book.

Bookcrossing very cool, but I have a tendency to hoard my good books.

Heh, yeah, that's the problem here too. I have about 10 physics books which is a tad redundant though--but I think that someone might not be so happy to find that. :)

Hmmm... I imagine a good number of businesses would be interested in this as well.

Or just leave them a copy of the book in a real geocache. I know a few around here. My son thinks we're treasure hunting when go out and find a cache. Its a lot of fun for kids.
