i am not a scribe either, but that sounds like a totally awesome way to spread the triska-spirit. (when is the next full moon btw?)

Totally up for it!! Thank you for identifying with what I think is the heart of the Triskabiblios concept. Sharing, community and advancing knowledge.
I am working in a bookshop now so I have access to plenty of interesting titles. I'll be putting them in friendly places and sending them to people too. And the more people that know about our search, the more likely we are to retrieve Book Zero! So yes, I'm in! Thank you!

The next full moon is November 15. Those who wish to enlighten others and enjoy the full experience that is Triskabiblios, please leave a book somewhere conspicuous with a note of your choosing. I will follow Withe's lead and also leave directions to Triskabiblios. You are all beautiful beings that I am proud to know.

Personally, I think we all should write our own little personal notes. Say what you want to say, because it's your gift to whoever finds it. There should be no specific guidelines to follow, because we're all different. Make it yours. =)
Plus, you guys are givin me the warm and fuzzies just knowing I had a small role in inspiring you. I have another book drop arranged for today. This is just the greatest feeling, albeit it is a small gesture.
Spread the kindness my friends,
The world belongs to all of us.

Am I right in thinking that Withe's Scribe Page has changed?
It now says
Quote:
If Islington does nothing else, he has at least opened up some of our minds to the possibility of seeking knowledge outside our little bubbles of routine and assumption.
I know it is a quote from Withe originally, but why has he placed it on the site?
"If Islington does nothing else" sounds a bit ominous to me - is this a sign of them bowing out, and a hint that it isn't continuing?

That quote has been up for a while now, it was my second page update. =) Maybe way back then Islington thought I had caught onto something---step out of character, live outside the box, ya know?
I'm still flattered at the gesture.

hehe yea he has used two quotes from me now on my page. I think it may be a sort of acknowledgement that he recognizes our achievements/we are on the right track.

Just a thought.
Just a theory: If toby/islington/orkid is known by the staff and some
have agreed to play along (it is a game about books) perhaps they need specific clues to release the book. For example the teapot, flyer/picture, letter references, orkid/toby/islington spoke of . Perhaps that would be a solid id.
Grasping at straws here, but flyer=photo id Letter=giving your return address could possibly= solid id.

Toby received a package from Islington with instructions to update the Triska site. He is scanning as we speak. There's also some kind of puzzle involved.
Get ready, here we go!
