Back to map   Tell me about a zone!	OBCZ Finder: United States of America - California   A list of all the Official (and Unofficial) BookCrossing Zones in California. If you know of one that isn't shown here please send the details to me using the link on the left sidebar. Official Zones are those marked with the BC sign. These are usually in public places and have the approval of the building owner / manager. Unofficial Zones may be set up informally between a group of friends, or residents of a building, and may not always be accessible to the general public. In either case it would be worth sending a PM to the zone's manager before travelling any great distance. Those zones which accept books by mail show this symbol.
