Book networking!

In what looks like a more literate version of Where's George comes Book Crossing. The idea is to take a book, put a label on the inside cover and then leave it somewhere for someone else to find. Locally there's a Hunt for Books in Bethesda.

This is a pretty cool concept. Maybe there's more to networking and geography than finding a way to pimp a pair of tennis shoes at you. Here's hoping.

Anf if you spend some time browsing, it's amazing to how many countries has extended this book dropping thing (but for the most exotic, it seems done by English/American tourists mainly, though).
