All Booked Up. I love everything about books. This journal is all about books – books you love, books you hate, great plots, favorite characters and wonderful settings. Has a book inspired a song you like or affected you in some way??
Use any medium you’d like to express yourself. Just please don’t alter the work of others.
When full please return to Jenny Stafford, jfit.

Everyone has had strange experiences – whether you’ve seen a flying saucer, ghost or just had a creepy feeling. Share your stories, photos or interpretations here with us in this cool X Files journal I found (one of my favorite shows)! Any medium is fine – just don’t alter the work of others. You can, though, feel free to help decorate the first few calendar pages or last couple of note pages. Have fun with it!!
When full, please return to jfit, Jenny Stafford!
This journal has vanished into the ether….

This interactive journal is for everything and anything inspired by rainbows. My entry is my favourite poem (illustrated), but any type of entry is acceptable. Please do not alter anyone else’s contribution, and try to relist within two weeks of receipt. I have wishlisted it to keep track of its movements and will mooch it back if the person who completes it will contact me. (Gill Tennant – tennantfamily:UK)
This journal was mooched new by Laura James:U.K. laurajames and relisted but several requests later it still has not been sent onwards. A new version ‘Another Rainbow’ has been created.

I bought this silk-covered Nepalese book with its hand-made pages, to create a journal to give to my step-granddaughter on her 18th birthday in September 2012. It is a place to put happy memories of relationships you have experienced between children and their step-parents or parents and their step-children or grandchildren in step-relationships. Let’s dispel the fairy-story wicked step-mother or step-father myth and replace it with some real-life relationships that developed well and happily! Please respect the work of other moochers and reserve it for me to mooch it back in good time to give it to her for her September 2012 birthday please!

I have created this journal in a small silk-covered Nepalese book with hand-made pages. It is for my granddaughter, and I want to give it to her on her 21st birthday in July 2012. It is a place to put memories, drawings and stories etc. about grandfathers and grandmothers. Please respect the work of others, and make sure it is reserved for me to arrive here at the latest by June 2012.

The second moocher seems to have posted this from Germany to the US in April but it has not arrived. I am really sad as it was to be a gift for my granddaughter.

This is an interactive BookMooch Journal, an ‘altered book’ reusing an unused 1982 flower diary. The diary has double pages with illustrations on backing pages, one of each pair alternating left and right hand. I suggest contributions are added randomly where they seem most appropriate and can take any form that fits the title, just don’t alter anyone else’s contribution and relist as soon as possible (preferably within a fortnight). If you can send jpegs for uploading to the journal files please do, it means those who have mooched earlier can check out its progress and additions.

This is an interactive ‘altered book’, it started life as an unused 1992 Oxfam diary. Most alternate pages have pictures of people from a wide range of countries. I’d like the alternate pages to be used by BookMoochers to describe in words or pictures, photos or poems the world they think of as theirs. I’ll upload images of my pages to the journal files as an example, but I’d like moochers to add in their own way, whilst leaving the picture pages unaltered.

The world has gone mad when a packet of peanuts has to contain a warning
“May contain traces of nuts”!
This journal is for those daft examples of wording now demanded by officials, and suggesting that humankind has become so moronic we cannot think for ourselves!
This journal was produced as a co-operative effort by Mark and Gill Tennant
(tennantfamily UK).
We will mooch it back when full if the person completing it will let us know please. Then we can laugh some more and upload the examples given to the BMJournal site so that you can all laugh at them too! We are happy for you to upload images earlier if you would like to do so.
Enjoy! Mwynhau!

Copied from the first page:
“A friend of mine was going through a rough time and inspired me to create a journal full of inspiration…be it art, poems, sayings, quotes, CD mixes…whatever you see fit. I’ve included the mixed CD I made him so that everyone else can also enjoy it.
Please sign with your BookMooch name and date your entry. Thank you.”

This journal has grown out of an incident that occured in the early 1970s, when I was sent out as the youngest-looking teacher with the Deputy Head of the Junior School where I taught, to scrounge resources from local businesses and factories. This was my second great catch (after enough (lumpy) glue from the suitcase factory to last the entire school more than three years), and was a dustbin sack full of tiny buttons. The shirt factory had just abandoned making shirts with button-down collars and the tiny buttons were no longer required. The school presented me with a hatbox full when I left to have my second son, and over the last 35 years I have gradually sorted, boxed and sold many thousands on Ebay to dollmakers, cardmakers and craftspeople. Part of my advertising was to create pictures from the buttons.
This ‘book’ is made from an A5 size spiral-bound, plastic-covered notebook and is called “Keep buttoned up…”, and available for Bookmoochers who would like to create their own button-art. It is specifically for scanned or photographed button-art or computer paint-program virtual-button art.
I have already created a companion journal called “All buttoned up…” for sewn button-art, with pages made of material sewn into a book-form, for sewn examples using buttons.

All attempts to recover this journal for the last two years have failed.
