We’ve set a date for this year’s book sale – Saturday 17th June (the day after @media). The venue, as usual, is the Church of the Ascension on Dartmouth Row, just up the hill from Lewisham Station.
There’ll be 20,000(ish) books, as per usual, many new or nearly new and all very, very cheap. Come along and help us out by buying something to read for the summer. Last June we raised around £7,700 for Amnesty International, and a further £3,400 selling the leftovers in November.
Update: We’re now collecting, sorting and pricing books for the sale. If you have books to donate, or have some time to spare to help us sort and price books, please come along to Dartmouth Row to help out. We’re in a garage just down the hill from the Church of the Ascension. Times are:
- Monday – Friday (not Bank Holiday Monday): 7pm to 9pm.
- Saturday/Sunday (and Bank Holiday Monday): 2pm to 4pm.
Post-sale update: £6,814, all told! Our second highest take, I think. I’ve posted a few photos on Flickr.
What time does it start on the 17th Jim? I’ve got a couple of hours to kill on the Saturday after @media and this would be an ideal wind-down.
Hi Dan,
It all kicks off at about 9am and goes on until 4 or 5.
Thanks Jim, I’ll definitely make my way there then. Can’t resist bargain books!
Hey, this entry is dated in the future! Have you taken up time travel?
P.S. I don’t remember your email address, which is embarrassing because I need to email you so I can tell you something amusing. Criminy.
Well, the PhD in Astrophysics had to come in useful for something, didn’t it?
I’m jim, the domain is eatyourgreens.org.uk. That should be enough to figure out my e-mail address.
