Bookcrossing.com http://www.bookcrossing.com

Please look at this great idea. I plan to distribute donated copies of The Diary of Anne Frank and Alicia, My Story-written by local Holocaust survivor Alicia Appleman-Jurman through this site and ask people to send back photos of themselves with these copies so we can create photo trails of each book's "release into the wild". We'll publish these 'photo trails' as part of The Anne Frank Wall project.
