Announcement: Edinbooks August 2009
Well – It looks like the 1st Edinbooks drop was a success. Aside from getting to see a lot of bits of the city I hadn’t visited in a while, I had the pleasure of seeing people pick up the books left behind and take them home. So far, a fair few folk have visited the site and tweeted support on Twitter.
The next book drop will be on Sunday 2nd August and will involve a considerable increase in book numbers. I invite anyone who wants to get involved by contributing their time and/or excess books to get in contact.
You can contact directly at cityferret@yahoo.co.uk or leave a comment here.
More details will follow on how to get involved.
Happy Reading!

Welcome to Spreading the Word, an experiment in reading
This is the start of an experiment in reading and passing on books we love. The concept is simple. Take a book, writing down your name, where you’re from and leave it somewhere for others to find. Leave a message telling them about this site so that we can track the progress of the book. The idea is to read, share and see where books have traveled. Good luck and happy reading.
I will be adding pages to this blog to show where I’ve left books and to manage comments. If you find a book, pass it on and tell me about.
