Hi everyone,

I am new to BookCrossing. I just signed up Feb. 15th.  I have been
registering and releasing books and enjoying it like crazy.  Does anyone
know ISBN info or where to get it?  Registering books has gotten me
curious.  Like when did they start?  Definitely many older books do not
have ISBNs on them at all.  And then there seems to be an overlap where
some books got them and some didn't.  Most self published books now even
seem to have them though.  And what about those books that have an ISDN
but no matter how many times I double check, the info for the book is
not available?  What's up with that?  And also some books have the wrong
ISDN outside, but the correct one inside.  Is there something bogus
about the publication of those books or were the publishers just too
lazy to go back and correct the ISDN on the cover?  And a few times I
found the ISDN different but wrong on both the outside and the inside of
the book.  One time I had a hunch and changed the first number and it
turned out correct!

 

I don't get to read as much as I would like because I have a full time
daygig and do music on the side, plus, you know, peops like family,
friends, boyfriend, etc.  However, I do still read!  In Feb, all I got
finished with was Persepholis 1 & 2, the biographic graphic novels by
Marjane Satrapi <http://www.powells.com/authors/satrapi.html> . I have
started 3 books but not finished any of them: Infinite Jest by David
Foster Wallace, Sweet Scars of Paradise (Janis Joplin bio) by Alice
Echols and  The Moon and the Sun by Vonda McIntyre.

 

I have had a fun time started in with trading and RABCKs as well as
releasing around town.  I am participating in the Race to 3 million
(registering) even though I know I won't win... it's fun and I would
like to have a complete inventory of all my books!  I don't really get
how to do book Relays yet, but I am sure the understanding will dawn as
I hang out and read more..!
