“ 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. ”

“ 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! ”

“ I didn't make contact with the meetup group yet. ”
—A former member on Apr 22, 2005.
“ 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 ”
