About This Item

This travel bug was started to help people complete the four caches centered around the book Guns, Germs, and Steel by Jared Diamond. It is a wonderful read, and I encourage everyone to give it a try. Please don't keep the book more than a week or two, so everyone gets a chance to use it. Also this is a www.bookcrossing.com book. Feel free to report that you found it at that website. Thanks - Spongy_Mesophyll

I was going to reserve the book from the library. Imagine my surprise when I found this copy. Thank you very much and I'll try to read it quick.

Discovered this TB while out caching on Columbus Holiday. Wish that I had know where it was when I needed it a few months ago. Our local library was able to get a copy for me, but it took a long time. Many people were on the 'reserve' list and some kept extending their time. Well I finally got it and have the GG&S started, but not finished yet, hope to finish it soon. Have all the first locations and the coordinates for the caches, but haven't gotten to them yet.

This is the first TB I have seen that is a book. It really looks like an interesting read. If I had known it was related to four other caches, I might have taken it, brought it home, and then used it as an excuse to come back later in the month. Didn't realize it, so I just abided by the keep in the Columbia/JC area request.

Well, finally--a copy of the book! The one at Boone County Library is checked out, and I surely wouldn't have time to look everything up at the Mizzou library! Will place in other cache soon (it's NOT easy finding the answers, btw!! First of all it's a large book, and second of all, you just start reading it and not carrying about the answers--although I don't think I'll read the whole thing, it is interesting to read chapters here and there.)
