How BookiZen Works

Hi,
The mode of operation for BookiZen is really simple and it is as follows:
1. Any one who wants to join bookizen would need to send his photo (actual) along with his introduction to bookizen@gmail.com
2. The next post (s) would contain list of books which would be currently available for reading
3. Anyone who is interested in reading (and has supplied his / her details ) any of the tile would need to mail it to bookizen@gmail.com for the same.
4. If the title would be available - then an arrangement would be made by the bookowner to make sure that the books is being delivered to the person.
5. We are developing an online system for this, but for present this is the arrangement.
6. Any one who wants to share their books can provide their list, which would be then merged with the existing one.
7. The book would be available for reading for around 30 days, thereafter it would return back to its source.
8. There are no fees or charges any of the services.
Presently bookizen is only available in Ahmedabad, but nonetheless - we believe that a book would find its way to any place - so if you are not in Ahmedabad, then also be a part of bookizen and we would try to see that you get to read what you want.
Thats all......

The Frog is out of the pond

Hi,
I believe that whomsoever has reached this page would have read at least one book, and would be ready to read another. I heard some where that we dont select the books - the book selects us !
that is why there is some Zen in reading books, now dont ask what is Zen, that is for you to find out. Bookizen is an idea to share the books, the learnings from them with others, we all has lot many books lying in our closet, but you know the right place of book is not in closet but in someone's hand and in his eyes. Thus through BookiZen an humble attempt is made to free these books from closets, so that they can change the lives and mind of others as they have changed yours.

BookiZen is an open platform for everyone of us to share our books with other, and even if you dont want to share - at least you can take someones.
