That was just wonderful! A CD of the show is being made up and will be sent around. The BCUK group just went wild during the show - I think they all sent the presenter an email!
I wung him while he was registering his first book - my own fair dinkum money for that, but when he noticed and asked BookCrossing to wing LeneyCakes, who he said did all the legwork, I just gave her a month's worth of wings and told her it was a big thank you from the BookCrossing Support Team.
Steve was fantastic - you could hear the smile and love in his voice as he spoke. LaneyCakes had had a book caught, and the finder rang up in the middle of the show. A few of the usual suspects rang in and others sent emails - minxie got a guernsey, as did Yoko.
And many others. ***SIGH*** It was just wonderful. Might take me a while to come back to earht.
