i know that at least my local post office is aware of bookcrossing, and whenever i send media mail, they ask me about it. i'm sure lots of other mail personnel are aware of it, as well. what's unfortunate is that most folks don't insure media mail packages, nor do they attach "return receipt requested" options to their packages. i'm wondering if i should do this now; i've sent out stuff that never arrived to the recipient.
