The term is +derived from [bookcrossing.com](https://www.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](https://inkscape.org) or any other SVG editing program +to modify the source SVG files. + +# TODO + +- Tamil labels for labelling Tamil books + +# License + +Ballycumber (the BookCrossing logo) is, according to the FAQ at +bookcrossing.com, released under the following terms: + +> You can use the BookCrossing logo image freely as long as the usage +> is non-commercial, non-competitive and promotes BookCrossing.com. + +Other works are released under a [Creative Commons +Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 +International](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/) +license attributable to Arun Isaac. |
