Books wanted

[whitespider - RIP]

Several BMs supported the school appeal at my wifes college.

 

We are now trying to buy them a computer but don't worry I am NOT asking for cash this time

 

We are raising 21,000 baht by selling books (we get 50-100 baht per book). I have put in my personal stash of around 20 that are just hanging around the house.

 

MANY BMs bring a book to read on the plane etc and then just leave it in their hotel room when they leave. Usually the hotel or the maids sell them on.

 

I would like to ask the following

 

1. Can you give them to ME instead?

 

2. If possible (luggage allowance allowing) can you bring a couple of old paperback with you. Im sure you ALL have a few stashed away at home that you can't be arsed to cart down the local charity shop.

 

Don't worry I promise not to tell anyone if you are a secret Agatha Christie reader LOL.

 

I am going to try and arrange a central collection point but if not I will come and collect.

 

Thanks in advance.

If you are going to make this a permanent thing then I can certainly bring a few with me in August.

 

I would suggest however that you bump this thread to the top of the list every couple of weeks to remind boardies (and me) of what you are doing.

Same for me arriving JULY!

I have so many books lying around the house, and I'll be glad to give them up. But unfortunately I do not know when I will be back in LOS next. But once I do I'll PM you.

[Panudate]

I will give some to whoever is going over if they can take them, otherwise i would post some as not sure when i will be in LOS next!

Just to show you how much good this can do. I have just bought a 2 year old Acer laptop and a 3 year old AppleMac Desktop.

 

Total cost 9000 (nice cheap price from the seller)

 

4000 from books

4000 my match

1000 donated by the sexy bitch himself

 

SO EASY to make a BIG difference guys

 

Your books sell for 100 baht min' unless its Agatha Christie or the jockey geezer then we only get 50 but don't worry I won't "tell" LOL

Sorry Whitespider but I havn't met half the people on this board and have forgotten the other half. I was not born with a memory like Sexy Beast (i think he was a bar girl in a past life).

 

 

So where should these books be delivered to?

That sounds like a great way to make a difference, WS. I hope to visit Pattaya before long, and will try to dig out a few of the books lying around the house that are doing nobody any good.
