Edinburgh festival book swap: how to get involved

Got a book you really want to share with others? This year, we're hosting our very own book swap at the Edinburgh International Book festival , in Charlotte Square Gardens and all around the city. The main book swap shelf is located just inside the Guardian Spiegeltent , where your books can be left and picked up by other people passing through the festival. Each book should contain a recommendation from the previous owner and can be swapped over and over again by each new reader. Want to get involved? This is how it works: - Bring a book with you - something you love and that you think other people really should read - when you visit the festival - Fill out one of the sticker inserts (available at the book swap shelf) explaining why you've chosen the book, and give it a star rating. Leave your Twitter name, too, so that whoever picks up your book can tell you what they swapped it for - Don't forget to put the little corner sticker on the outside of the book so that people know it's a book-swap copy - Once you've finished with your new book, bring it back and do it all over again Tweet us at @GuardianBooks to tell us what you've swapped, and use the hashtags #edbookswap and #edbookfest so that we can see how the swap is progressing. Or even better, tweet us a picture of the book you've left and what you've swapped it with.
