BookringDirectory.net - for BookCrossing.com

Before you begin...
For everyone, participants and bookring organisers

For everyone

JE# = which journal entry the participants list is in. Country = any country/continent restrictions. Time Limit: = time limit on reading the book. 1001 = whether or not the book is on the list of 1001 Books to Read Before You Die (link leads to a site that has free downloads of a handy spreadsheet, and the Directory gets a percentage if you choose to donate).

All links open in new windows (or tabs, if you have them)

Click on column headings to sort alphabetically by that column's contents. This might not work in some browsers.

Titles are sorted alphabetically, not including words such as "The" or "A". Authors are sorted by first name.

For participants

To sign up for a ring, click on the book title for more information on the ring itself and then click on the Bookcrosser's username to send a private message (PM).

If you sign up for a ring, let the organiser know where you found the link - if organisers know the Directory is being used, they'll add more rings, and that's better for everyone!

Titles followed by an asterisk (*) had, at the time of checking, not been journaled for at least 2 months

The "Find > On this page" function of your browser might come in handy for specific titles

When it comes to passing the book onto the next participant, you might like to check the BCers to Watch Out For page for potentially problematic users and directions for how to check up on a user. Always check any decisions with the bookring organiser first.

For bookring organisers

A link to this site in your bookring/ray introduction would be very much appreciated on my part, and will help bookring hunters find other rings/rays to take part in, too.

Write a journal entry on your registered copy of the book stating that it is a bookring. Provide a clear list of guidelines and a list of participants, and let people know how to contact you about the bookring (most often PM or forum post, provide a link if necessary). This will help avoid any confusion.

Mention the state of the book, in terms of mailability - for example, number of pages and whether the book is a hardback.

If the book is particularly special to you and you want to be certain that it will be returned to you, search for each participant's username in the forums. Enter their username in the "content" bit, and ask to sort the results by date. This will bring up any recent issues with your potential participant. You might also like to check the BCers to Watch Out For page.
