I just got a book in the mail today that I'd ordered used on Amazon and it had a sticker in it that said it was one of the books in this domino chain. That's what lead me to this video. It feels so cool to own a little piece of this accomplishment!
Since this is a world record, and there was a section of the domino chain that says, "READ," I am wondering if there was a logging of the books used in the chain, so that industrious readers looking for a challenge could try to read all of the books in the chain? :)
a couple of times while it shows the timelapse set up, it shows the books up, then down, then up, then down. i take it those were attempts that didnt finish properly.
***** well i would figure that it would have been your final one. it would be silly if you did a 6th attempt if the 5th one worked ;) i wonder how long until someone makes a domino rally of kindles and nooks lol (unless someone has already done that...)
Oh I meant that we were out of time. This is in the lobby of the main seattle public library. We blocked off the lobby and started setting up during the day, and then all these attempts happened at night after it closed. We were out of time though, and if this 5th attempt hadn't worked we wouldn't have time to do another.
Also, fun time- in the 4th attempt all but the last 10 or so books fell. We were all exhausted and it was soo disheartening. We almost quit right then (a lot of the volunteers actually did have to go then), but those of us that were left decided to give it one more go. luckily we did!
Hey, read the info: "The books used to make this domino chain were either donated or are out of date and no longer in the library's collection. They are now being sold by the Friends of Seattle Public Library to help raise money for library programs and services."
