     If you accumulate lots of books, this is a good way to make sure that others can enjoy them and a way to find new reading material without spending a lot of money.

     To share books and it is always nice to meet new people who share your interests. As this was my first meeting it is difficult for me to find the words but I will attend another meeting and have some really interesting eclictic reading to make my subway ride more interesting

     BookCrossing is, like, radical.

     Wish I would have had more time to hang out and talk. Had to leave early and was just starting to get to know a few people.

  •  Sorry I won't be attending any more as I'm returning to Australia in a couple of weeks. Thanks for making me feel welcome and for the opportunity to meet and chat with people who enjoy books, and talking. Thanks Mary for organising the meetups. 'bye.

  •  A fairly large number of people always show up and we're constantly getting new members who know nothing or little about bookcrossing but are always eager to learn. So it's not just the same old faces showing up out of misguided loyalty every month. We have new blood, the word is getting out and we're having fun comparing and picking up new books.

  •  Had a good time, I am glad I came. Not 100% sure how the 'bookcrossing' part works, but it was nice.

  •  It's a great way to share tips and tricks about Bookcrossing and other book sharing strategies; plus you get the gratification of decluttering your bookshelf and giving the books to people who are really interested. Not to mention, you'll likely go home with great new reading material!

  •  This is one of the friendlier groups out there. And Marsha always brings lots of FREE FOOD -- which is something I really, truly, deeply believe in. (Kind of right next to FREEDOM, which it's practically an anagram of!)

  •  I didn't make contact with the meetup group yet.

  •  our group offers FREE books, FREE refreshments, and FREE EVENTS.....we've never collected money, and, personally, i refuse to start collecting now. i believe it ruins the intregity of bookcrossing and what was meetup....its always great to meet new people at these gatherings. meetups i've been to were friendly, lively, and very casual. something i've come to look foward to each month.....the lectures at cooper union are usually quite interesting, and i always come away learning something new....contact me, danadoodle, for further info about future events and whats happening with this group
