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](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
