I decided to lighten the load on my library shelves and I have selected some 30 books to give away to EO members. They are totally free and free from postage. Think of it as a late Christmas gift from me.
Distributed on a first come, first served basis.
DO NOT claim books by responding on this Thread. Only claim by email to me.
I will mark entries "SOLD" on the list as they are taken up.
To view the ad in EO Clasifieds
Click Here. If you cannot read the list, email me and I will send a list. My email can be found in the ad listing or in "My Profile/About me" below.
Happy reading.

Good onya!
I did the same some 20 years ago but left books at waiting rooms in a couple of hospitals.
These days I leave them at book swap stalls as
well

Good on you Allan. Being one of the guys who has been there done that, your generosity will help younger people to also enjoy our way of life.
This is a really good idea. Maybe other EO members might do the same. Also the people who do get books from Allan, or anyone else for that matter, read them and pass them on the same way at some time in the future.
I have some books which I want to keep for the time being, but I have marked them all, and my daughter will do the same as Allan should I pass on before I also give them away.
Maybe David & Michelle might consider having a book swapping page, or a library and called "AB's Book Club"
Thanks again Allan.

Thanks Chris, but really, I wasn't being altruistic, I just needed to get more shelf room.
Incidentally, 16 (Edit, 18) of the 32 books have been claimed so far.
Your idea of a Book Swap page is a good one but please, call it just that.
I must say that using the
Classifieds is not an easy administration for this purpose.
And management of the postage could be an issue
