World Book Night, this Saturday- anyone doing anything?

[Tosca]

Hi,

I've signed up to donate 48 copies of "All Quiet on the Western Front", and I know there are others in the area who are distributing "Toast" and other titles. Is anyone up for joining me to organise something? I have friends coming for dinner, and I had in mind a bar crawl about 9pm - The Bishop, Black Cherry, EDT, etc. by way of distribution. But it would probably be better to attempt a bigger splash. The Plough has a book club that meets on Wednesdays, and there's a Green and Blue book club, and I've sent them a message. I expect Chener Books and Dulwich Library are also the focus for book collection (if not distribution). All ideas welcome. Thanks, Tosca

A new "literary cafe" is apparently launching on Bellenden Road on that night and will be giving copies of The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie away. Looks like the perfect opportunity to give a new business some support.

Yeah, it's on the site of the old Lucius & Richards or Grassfoods shop.

You might be interested in World Book Day on 5th March when one million books are going to be given away, as a celebration of reading and of giving.

The Wednesday night book club will be giving copies of Agent Zigzag by Ben Mcintyre from a stall in the upstairs Mez at the Clockhouse between 6.00pm and 8.00pm Saturday 5th March.

Please feel free to come along and get your free copy.

I've got 48 copies of the reluctant fundamentalist to give away...any suggestions of where/how?

I read of one distribution that was just done by popping a copy in the letterboxes of one's street.
