I think Gideons Bibles are terrific.

I am now the proud owner of a Dutch, German, English, and Thai Bible because of their generosity. When I stay in France, Italy, Poland, and Spain this next fiscal year, I will no doubt take an French, Italian, Spanish and Polish bible back with me as well.

The reason Gideons Bibles are so spread out is because the organization behind it is extremely well funded, and can afford to spread bibles in hotels, hospitals, nursing homes, prisons, and student halls.

The first time I heard about it it was something someone from the ACA came up with a long time ago, I think it was Jeff Dee.

I can tell you the novelty of hotels wear off quickly. As to where to hide them, unless you have a multi 100 dollar suite there aren't that many places to hide it.
