What happens next
- 1
Mark where you are
Drop a pin on a map. It is saved to about a kilometre, never your exact spot.
- 2
Say a word, if you like
Your name, a line about the book, a photo. All optional.
- 3
Read it, then pass it on
Leave it where the next person will find it. The book's map grows by one stop.
About twenty seconds. No account, no app, nothing to sign up for.
Can't find a code?
The QR code won't scan. The eight characters printed under it are the code. Type them in the box above.
You tapped an NFC tag and nothing happened. Same code, same box. It is printed on the plate too.
There is handwriting, not a plate. Whatever is written after the last slash of the link is the code.
No code anywhere. Browse the books. You might recognise the cover.
What is this book?
Somebody read it, then gave it away on purpose, one hop in an open social experiment in how far a stranger's trust can carry a book. You're the next hop, whether you keep reading or hand it straight on. Checking it in takes about twenty seconds. No account, no app, nothing to sign up for.
