I received these today! Two of the likely four "Books" that are in circulation with the OFC.
My goal is to post a photographic record of each of these for all to enjoy and to keep the momentum going.


The Books Album

I believe these books were sent into circulation starting in 2007 and that there are two others that have been going since 2003. I started one of those and it had a route sheet attached to the inside cover. I also believe that it received a good drenching while sitting at a doorstep waiting to be noticed by the recipient.

I would like to see those put back in circulation and receive them to record the story they tell.

I wish to make a couple of assumptions and set some guidelines on these books. I feel empowered to do so for the following reasons:
1) I have some level of seniority here having signed on in 2003 and I have started one of the books myself.
2) My post count proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that I truly need a life and purpose... such as this one.
3) I am an obsessive SoB and will pursue the task of documenting and circulating these treasures (that get little respect from the Non-O Fans).
4) I thought of it first.

Having self qualified myself I offer up these guidelines:

A - Books need to move. Take them to wonderful places and take their picture. Then pass them on.
B - Books need to be available at OFC Gatherings.
C - Trinkets should be of little monetary but significant personal value.
D - To take a trinket you must leave a trinket.
E - Keep the "Books" Family friendly.

I will label one of the books "Meuti" for his brilliant idea of putting the Book in a padded cover and for it's European flavor.

The other Book I will label "Ozzie" as it has gone downunder and back.

Please forward any of your Book Shot's to me and I will place them in the appropriate album on the ning site.

"Woody... are you saying you found the old books from the first time we sent them around?

I do believe there are two (definately at least one) earlier books in circulation. Actually... not IN circulation... likely set aside, buried, in the "oh, yah" pile with someone.

PRESIDENT? What did I do wrong? :eek:

This is a great idea!

I had the pleasure of reading and signing the one on the right...the pinktober hard rock pin and cape cod/black dog are from me.

Standing, I think you may have signed the one on the right, but not entirely sure.

The one with the water damage got it when it was left outside moody's house. It's years since that one was seen.
Is it around now?
Or did some schmuck sell it on ebay when they realised how much the books go for?

Who would buy anything a bunch of crazy people have scribbled all over???!?

I think I signed the one with water damage, but it was so long ago the only thing I'm sure about was that it was a book of some sort, right?

Meuti's Book was here in Brazil, although I didn't see the pics I took (maybe someone took them for trinkets, which really should be the boat keyrings).
So, if you wanna send Ozzie for Summer in Brazil, I may take it boating again...

As I recall, Miguel, those photos would look good in any red-blooded, virulent male's workshop!

I would encourage all to sign whenever you get in arm's lenth of one... also location and date!

I think there's still two others out there.
