You PM (private message) the person who is starting the ring or ray to get added to the list.
Book Ring. Person #1 has a book to share and posts notice of a book ring in the Book Ring and Ray forum. Interested parties will PM her, and a book ring begins. The book is mailed to Person #2 along with a list of everyone in the ring--without including anyone's mailing address (for privacy reasons). When Person 2 receives the book, he PM's Person 3 for his/her address, reads the book as quickly as possible, and mails it off. Two to four weeks has become the standard for keeping a book. My personal suggestion is that if you need it longer than that, you a)let the founder of the ring know, and/or b) send it to the next person, unread, and request that your name be added to the end of the list when you may have more time. Person #3 repeats the cycle. Eventually, the book returns to the original owner. Book Ray- This works exactly like a book ring except it is never returned to the original owner. Much like a paper ray of sunshine, the book travels forever. When the last person on the ray list finishes the book, they can post it on the wish list forum for more BC readers, or they can release it into the wild. see this site for more info.... http://www.texaswren.com/faqs.html ----- Original Message ----- From: flint bateman To: [email protected] Sent: Monday, June 13, 2005 4:00 PM Subject: RE: [BookCrossing] My first bookring complete how would I become involved in a book ring?
