I give up....what do the little feet in circles mean next to books posted (when looking at a bookshelf)?

I'm sorry if this has already been addressed somewhere, but I couldn't find it!

Only problem is I don't think they work yet. They are supposed to give you the travel hstory known to PBS for that book.

Neither hovering or clicking does anything for me in Firefox under OS X. Interesting idea, though!

I click on mine and it shows me where it was sent to me from.

Very cool!  It's exciting to see how far those books have traveled!

I love the new feature.  The only suggestion for improvement that I have is that it would be nice if there was one little foot PER passport stamp.  That way you could tell how many times your book had traveled without clicking.  (Because the ones that have more stops are way more interesting to look at...)

It shows that for me to, but those are BOB books, not ones I got through the system.
