Book swap
OK, enough talking about this.
I have a dozen read books here that I want to swap for others. I have perhaps another dozen that I am willing to lend (as long as I get them back in good condition).
Anybody else in the same boat? How about we organise a definite time & date in a coffee shop or bar where we can meet & get rid of unwanted reading material & get something new. We can also lend favourite books & get the details of the member that borrows them. Anyone interested? Post below with ideas for location, date & time.

book swop
great idea, seen a few beached whales outside the hilton, can we swop a few of those "blots on the landscape"

OK, anyone got an idea for where or when? If it's before January, then we'll do another in January for elem - I'm bound to have read another half dozen by then

No place, but keen interest
Dawn, I cant offer a place or time either, but I have two or three dozen books to trade.
Isn't there some bar owner along the Bintabat willing to donate space on a couple of tables for a couple of hours some afternoon/ early evening before the trade kicks in? Can be a onetime thing or even a weekly thing and you might just sell a beer or two out of it.
( Note: I have never been in any bar in HH except for the Hilton, Hin Nam (Spin & Star) for dancing mainly, and the Music Room. So this might be my chance to get to know the local pub scene better as well as picking up new books.)

OK, a weekend afternoon. How about next weekend (I'm busy this one) Dec 15th or 16th? About 4pm? Venue? OK, not sure about that if parking is needed. Anyone got any suggestions with parking space nearby? An HHAD sponsor would be good...

Not sure I will be attending as not an avid reader any more, but I would have thought Dick's Office might fit the bill? You can generally get parked nearby, especially in the day time and Richard would be very accommodating if you approach him about it I'm sure - he might even lay on something for you if it is going to be a regular event (smoking jackets, pipes, you know the sort of thing! ). It's in Soi Sarawat for those who don't know it and I think reasonably accessible for those without their own transport.

OK - Saturday 15th December. 3:30pm, Dick's Office for the 1st HHAD book swap. ALL WELCOME!!
The next one will be in January at elem's convenience, seeing as she pushed me to do this
Will date/time/venue suit all interested parties?
