The ISBN lookup is FIXED and WORKS on the BETA site -- http://beta.bookcrossing.com/home One can only access this site as a WINGS member. Becoming a WINGS member is easy, just buy something from the BC Supply Store or donate money to the site. Also, as someone posted a few days ago, someone can give you WINGS anonymously. The ISSUE is how long before they allow everyone access to the fixes. Tina aka surmisez See the books I've set free at: http://bookcrossing.com/referral/surmisez ------------------------ Yahoo!
