Spine Stories
Every copy has a story. Give yours a passport.
Register a book, print its ex-libris plate, paste it inside the cover and let it go. Whoever finds it scans the plate and adds a stop — and the book's whole journey unfolds on a map.

It looks like CS-7KQ-2MF. No account needed — just tell the next reader where it has been.
The bookplates
Three ex-libris designs, after the old engravers
Each plate carries the book’s title, your dedication, a unique code and a QR that leads straight to its logbook. Print it at 90 mm on heavy paper and paste it inside the front board.
How it works
The life of a travelling copy
Good places to leave a book
Café and hostel shelves, station waiting rooms, little free libraries, a friend's letterbox, the seat-back pocket on a long flight.
What finders see
Scanning the plate opens the copy's page: its map, its logbook and a short form. Guests can log a stop without making an account.
Your privacy
Locations are rounded to about 1 km, email addresses are never published, and guest entries are checked by a moderator.
Somewhere, a stranger is waiting for the book on your shelf
Registering takes two minutes. The plate is free to print, and the journey is entirely up to the book.
