Heroes Not Zombies

I’ve seen a few different varieties of book sharing around – the most well known is probably “book crossing“.

In Bordeaux, right next to one of the tram stops, I found this bookcase –

….no instructions, no locks, just some books in a bookcase with sliding glass doors.

I wonder how long its been there. I’m amazed that such a piece of furniture can apparently sit quite happily in the middle of a city. And I wonder how often the books change hands?

Have you come across any interesting book sharing platforms or facilities?

By the way, in the hot e-books versus paper books debate, surely one of the best arguments for paper books is how you can pass them on to other people after you’ve read them (Did you realise that you only rent an e-book? You never own it the way you do a paper one)
