guidebook exchange forum
Old 10-03-2008

Would it be a good idea to set up a forum for exchanging zoo material like guidebooks and annual reports?

I am sure that most members of this forum collect some kind of zoo ephemera and would be interested in forging links with like-minded collectors in other nations.

I have a surplus box that I cannot empty in the uk as the guidebooks are common and everyone here has them already. But I am sure that there are non-UK members who would be most grateful for them - perhaps in exchange for guidebooks for their local zoos?

I would be a regular user of such a forum. What does anyone else think?

it may be possible, i am just thinking logistics, and really giving out adresses is not smart over the net (even though most of us here are sane, but what if AS knew where you lived!)

I cant see it being too much of a problem, but there would have to be some restrictions like you have to be an active member or somethng maybe a certain number of posts 50ish, dunno Sim what do you think

To become a member of this forum, the details you have to supply are minimal. Perhaps anyone wanting to use the exchange service would have to register some kind of personal details like address with the moderator, or nature of interest in zoos. And perhaps addresses to be exchanged only via PM. Just a thought.

I wonder who administrates: -

Zoo_Collectors : Zoo Memorabilia Collectors, Zoo History, Zoo Guide Books,Zoo Patches.

They may have previous experience of such an idea.

I've created a new topic area called Zoo Memorabilia ... for discussion about all the paraphernalia you bring back from your trip to the zoo, including guidebooks, maps, souvenirs and photos. Does this help ?
