Book sharing..
« on: November 18, 2011, 02:00:28 PM »
A year or so ago I bought "On the Edge: the Spectacular rise and fall of Commodore".  Good book...now it just sits there.  So that got me thinking...how about I send it to someone to read it?  You write your name (print...not sign), city/state/country on the inside flap or back inside page if it ever got full...then send to someone else.  I'd like to have the book back after its all signed, hopefully all over the world so we can see how far its travelled.  This is based on trust...so I hope nobody keeps it or something.

What do you'all think?

It would be better just to scan it and upload somewhere for all to enjoy.


absolutely not.


As far as the book exchange etc.. I'm hoping I get it back.  Its just a book, so I would think nobody would want to read it and then keep it or throw it away.  


@Tension:

You can either send it back to me when you're done or refer back to this thread and send it to the next one on the list.

Cool idea. That is a book I have been meaning to read/purchase as well. Since we are on the topic of Amiga/Commodore books - can anyone comment on the book, "Freax" ? It is a book regarding the 'scene' community.

http://www.amazon.com/Freax-Tam%C3%A1r-Polg%C3%A1r/dp/3981049403/ref=sr_1_fkmr1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1322313526&sr=8-3-fkmr1

I am thinking of asking the wife to grab it for me for Christmas.


Never seen it before.. I'm going to order it!  

Thanks!!

BTW, I also read Commodork: Sordid Tales From A Bbs Junkie ...loved it!

No its called being patient.  I'm a busy man.  I will send out this FREE book to READ as soon as I get a chance.
