Books on the loose
Some people believe that books should be given freedom. The process of liberation is called bookcrossing. An exceptionally romantic occupation: a person chooses a place in the city to leave, for example, a Chekhov's volume.
The place can be a park bench, a cafe or a shop - it doesn't matter. It is important that the book is “released.” Her fate is unknown to anyone, but there is a chance that the dispensed volume will hear about it more than once - every book has a unique number in bookcrossing. Inside, there is also information about the “forgotten” book - itse-mail , nickname and website of the city book center. If the one who picked up the book reports about it on the site, the book is considered to be found. After that, it is most likely waiting for a new journey - bookcrossing is delaying.
“No one will tell you what the idea of ​​bookcrossing is,” say the creators of the Knigovorot website, which supports the Russian bookcrossing movement. - There are obvious ideas - the exchange of books, communication. And there are unobvious - for example, personal experiences of a person who left the book and waits for news from it. You can tell yourself what the idea of ​​movement is about by participating in the process. ”

Apparently, in bookcrossing they like to find books more. Each participant in the movement not only frees the books himself, but also hunts for others released. The incentive to this, according to those who have experience with such a find, is a large piece of positive. Perhaps this is to believe - the movement is gaining momentum around the world. In the "Bookstore," for example, 4,664 hunters were registered - they released 2,470 books and found 436.
The idea of ​​bookcrossing came to American Ron Hornbacker, a specialist in Internet technologies. The most important task of the movement is to turn the world into a library. “About 200 thousand bookcrossers in 130 countries of the world purposefully leave books in public places,” reads the article “Bookcrossing. Free the books! ”
Some writers use bookcrossing to promote their work. The idea also appealed to business — booksellers in Europe began to support the movement, freeing up new books. There are similar initiatives in Russia. For example, the Falanster bookstore has allocated a bookcase in its premises for bookcrossing purposes. Judging by the reports on the Knigovorot forum, every enthusiastic Moscow bukkrosser honors the duty with a “working visit” to the “Falanster”, which surely pleases the store holders.
