• 4) You are now ready to send out your TRAVEL BOOK. You may wish to simply pass it on to a friend, or you may have more creative ideas of how to get it out there in the world, the choice is yours! Some simple rules apply, for instance a dry place is always sensible, and to leave it in a library may not be the brightest idea! But you are limited only by your imagination! Maybe leave the book somewhere to be 'found'? Or why not post it to a friend? It's up to you! (Remember to take pictures for stage 5, below, if you wish to include them.)
  
  
• 5) Once you have sent your book off, please use the forum board we set up for your TRAVEL BOOK, and tell us all about it. We want to know exactly how you sent it on it's journey, where you left it, who you gave it to, etc. Make sure to include the location (town/city) and the date/time. You may attach pictures to the post if you wish. And feel free to write a review of the book if you have read it, or any other information/comments you may wish to include, like, where you got the book from originally. For ideas and examples look at other books already in travel.
