What is a Friendship Book (FB)?
Here is Swap-Bot's definition:

"A booklet that is passed via the mail from person to person. It includes addresses of all the signers and is intended for the recipient to find new penpals and/or swap partners. It is generally made of a few pages of paper (any size, but usually made to fit in a standard size envelope) stapled together. The cover or front page includes who made the booklet (complete with name and address) and who the booklet was made for (complete with name and address). The rest of the booklet is reserved for the “signers.” The person who signs the last available space then sends the booklet back home to the person the booklet was made for."

Personally I'm going to make a nice little notebook which should be quite light to ship internationally.

When you have signed the book you receive, please rate the partner who sent it to you and then it's up to you how its journey continues. Include it in another swap if you like, or just send it to someone you've encountered previously, on Swap-Bot or elsewhere. If you ever receive one where your address or comment completes the book, please return it to the person for whom it was made, whose address should be at the front.

Got it? I've never done one before either! Experienced FBers are welcome too.

Your only requirements are a profile with plenty of info about yourself, and ratings, if any, only good ones!

NB I edited the swap to clarify that you will make the FB FOR the partner you send to, so the FB's FINAL journey should be back to that person.

Oh my yes please. I have seen loads of these swaps but not been brave enough to enter beofre as I wasn't sure about the the whats and why etc. Your explanation is so clear, thank you. Off to sign up now

Can I ask please, are we sending the FB to the person it has been made for or sending it on its journey via another swap?

I assume we should fill a page with our own details for them also right?????

You send the FB to the partner you are assigned. In the front cover, you put: Return to (your partner's address); Made by (your own name and address).

On receipt of the FB your partner should rate you (you have made the FB for your partner) then it's up to your partner what they do with the FB.
