It's a global book club that crosses time and space. It's a reading group that knows no geographical boundaries. Do you like free books? How about free book clubs?. Well, the books our members leave in the wild are free... but it's the act of freeing books that points to the heart of BookCrossing. Book trading has never been more exciting, more serendipitous, than with BookCrossing. Our goal, simply, is to make the whole world a library. BookCrossing is a book exchange of infinite proportion, the first and only of its kind. For over 25 years, Will Caldwell has followed his passion for painting and the pursuit of artistic inspiration. Raised and educated in a college town, son of a professor and noted author, he traveled the world with his family as a teenager, graduated from Oregon State University in 1966, served in the Viet Nam war, and built his home and studio in the mountain town of Sun Valley, Idaho. Bookplate Artist WILL CALDWELL Information from Google Penelope Cline was born in 1947. After studying at what was then Brighton Polytechnic she travelled extensively, spending many years drawing and painting in Southern Africa, where she specialized in studies of tribal Africans and the indigenous wildlife, as well as teaching pottery. Bookplate Artist PENELOPE CLINE Information from Google Artist Mary Whyte moved with her husband to a small South Carolina barrier island ten years ago and quite by accident met a group of senior citizens who were making quilts in a small, abandoned church. Longtime residents of Johns Island and descendents from slaves, this extraordinary group of African American women changed Whyte's life and paintings in an astonishing and unexpected way. What resulted is a decade-long journey that chronicles the Gullah way of life, as well as a rapidly changing culture. Bookplate Artist MARY WHYTE Information from Google Tess Garman was born under a full moon to self-described gypsy parents. Practically raised in a menagerie, she has never quite managed to unblur the line between human and animal. She's currently finishing her degree in Natural History Illustration, which comes in most handy to lend an air of reality to her fantasy artwork. The majority of her existence is spent on the road to one place or another. Inspiration strikes Tess most often when she's swirling cappuccino dregs in foreign kawfee shops, wandering untamed wildernesses and sweltering in bus stations under the drone of unknown languages. She amuses herself by transforming the humans she's met into animals, drawing them in pencil as their new, true forms. Bookplate Artist TESS GARMAN Information from Google
