System for leaving books to be picked up by strangers..........
I seem to remember that there is a web site associated with some scheme for leaving books lying around in public places.
They are borrowed or stolen by complete strangers but there is a sticker inside referring them to the website so they can say where they found it and where they leave it.
Anybody know what I am talking about ?
