“This paperback is very interesting, but I find it will never replace a
hardcover book - it makes a very poor doorstop.” Alfred Hitchcock (1899 -
1980)
New Year’s resolution to read more, brush up on current topics and increase
general knowledge? Want to clear a bit of space in your apartment and get
rid of those paperbacks? Come to the January Book Exchange!
Date: Sunday, January 15th
Time: 3-5pm
Location: Maple Leaf Shibuya www.maplesportsbar.c om (http://www.maplesportsbar.c om/)
Cost: \1,500 for entry - includes one drink!
Idea: bring your old books and magazines, any genre accepted, and feel free
to take as many as you’d like on the table. Have a drink, relax and maybe
engage in a discussion about literature…or sports…or anything you’d like!
"Most new books are forgotten within a year, especially by those who
borrow them. " Evan Esar (1899 - 1995) Can’t remember where you picked up
that paperback? Bring it in to trade!
Any remaining books will be donated to the Meguro Catholic Church - Mission
to the Philippines. “A room without books is like a body without a soul.”
G. K. Chesterton (1874 - 1936) Fill up your house and your New Year with
something good to read!
Any questions can be directed to Laura at girl-about-town@hotmail.com (http://webmail.aliant.net/agent/MobNewMsg?to=girl-about-town@hotmail.com) Hope
to see you there!

Hi Sola! This is a good move. Which part of the Philippines or which schools are your beneficiaries? If you have IT books in your collection, is it alright to request some for the beneficiaries of the Ruralcomp project www.ruralcomp.net (http://www.ruralcomp.net) ? Please carry on.
