BookCrossing Celebrates 4 Million Registered Books!

Just over 6 years ago one of the most respected, and popular, Online Communities was born, and this week saw a major milestone achieved.

CEO Scott Sorochak made the announcement:

BookCrossing members have now registered over 4,000,000 books since the site began just over 6 years ago. Think about that for a second.

That’s over 55,000 books per month over a 6-year period that have been registered in over 130 countries worldwide…and I do mean worldwide.

Some notable releases: the Statue of Liberty, the Great Wall of China, Buckingham Palace, Stonehenge, the Pyramids, the Arctic Circle and even Mt. Everest's base camp.

To learn who Registered the 3,999,999th, and 4 Millionth books, and what those books were, go here.  ;-D

Recently I reached a couple of Milestones myself.

I joined BookCrossing in February 2005, and have Registered 113 Books, and Released 106 into the Wild.

100th Registered Book = A Romance of Billy-Goat Hill by Alice Hegan Rice. ( Published in October 1912!! ) ( See Photo of the Book! )

100th Book Released into the Wild = Unhinged: Exposing Liberals Gone Wild by Michelle Malkin.

Released outside the gate of FOX Studio in Los Angeles, CA. ( See Photo! )
