Hi, bellfor you, and welcome to BookCrossing!

You can find the basics in the site's Frequently Asked Questions; see the
FAQs-link at the bottom of each BookCrossing- site page, or here(
http://www.bookcros sing.com/ faqs ). There's a basics-of-BookCross ing item in
the "General" section ( http://www.bookcros sing.com/ faqs#69 ) that should help
you get started, and a bit more information about the BCIDs here (
http://www.bookcros sing.com/ faqs#27 ), and plenty more in the rest of the FAQ.

Once you register your first book, the page that comes up with its unique BCID
will include suggestions for labeling the book. If you have the bookplate
labels, you can apply one to the inside front cover of the book and fill in the
information: the book's BCID, your screen name, your location, and the
registration date. [I just use the year, but you can add whatever you like, as
long as you can fit it in the spaces!]

The supply-store bookplates don't say that the book is free, FWIW, just that
it's traveling. Books might wind up for sale in charity shops or yard sales or
secondhand bookstores, and that's fine too. You never know where your books will
go once you release them, or who will choose to journal them!

Good luck,
