Bookcrossing


across the Atlantic.

Hundreds of books have been left on the streets of Manchester as part of a growing international swapping project.

People who find the books in the city are encouraged to read them and then release them back “into the wild” for others to pick up, read and pass on.

Known as Bookcrossing, the idea has already been introduced to the cities of Melbourne, Shanghai, Oslo, Montreal and Hong Kong.
