BookCrossing is the practice of leaving a book in a public place to be picked up and read by others, who then do likewise. The term is derived from bookcrossing.com, a free online book club which was founded to encourage the practice, aiming to "make the whole world a library."

This repository is a collection of some bookcrossing labels I made for myself. These labels are meant to be put on books before releasing them so that other people picking up the books can learn about bookcrossing, and know that it is ok to take the book home.

How to print

label.pdf can be printed on A4 paper. The tile spacing of the labels in label.pdf facilitates easy cutting simply by halving and quartering.

cover-label.pdf can be printed on Avery J8359 label paper (3 x 8). These labels are small and are intended to be pasted on the front and back covers of the book.

How to modify

Use Inkscape or any other SVG editing program to modify the source SVG files.
