bookcrossing 
n.  the practice of leaving a book in a public place to be picked up and read by others, who then do likewise. 
Concise Oxford English Dictionary 
 
That's the official word, but BookCrossing is much more than that. It's become a way of life, a passion and a global phenomenon. It's serendipity, good karma and random acts of kindness rolled into one. 
 
BookCrossing has transformed lives through simple sharing of books. A vibrant international community has formed around this common cause, focused on a love of literature. 
 
BookCrossing was conceived on the principle that two things can change people's lives: the books they read and the people they meet. It's a novel way to circulate books: no library card, no due date, no fines.
