    Fiction books free to anyone, having a clear out

    Morning all, having a clear out at the house and have got around 50 mostly paper back books free to anyone that wants to collect, i will be at the Imperial Mae Ping for a few days and i am willing to keep them in the car if someone wants them.
    only 1 condition- any taker has the lot.
    Thanks
    Alan

    If nobody steps up, small expat-owned/frequented bars/pubs are usually very pleased to add to their library.

    That's George's place. Bloody good bloke and a bloody good book shop.
    I think he's going sell that business and concentrate on his other shop which is smaller.

    Understandable. My mate is in CM but is going to pick up a pick-up in KhonKaen in the next day or so.

    Are you at the Imperial Mae Ping now? I have is mobile number so I could call the hotel and leave a message for you there. I'd leave the message for lamphun alan, which should work.

    Up to you.

    I'm sure you're right but I don't use FB and wouldn't even know where to start.

    Right Alan, he's flying to KK tomorrow then driving back. I've emailed him the Mai Ping number and he'll leave a message as I suggested above.
    I hope it all works out. I'd take the books myself with alacrity but it's a 5 hour drive from my place and I'm a sick at the moment, more's the pity.

    Message sent to Peter, so I guess it's up to him now.
    I like to see books go to a good home.

    Absolutely.
    Peter just emailed me to say he's calling now.
    I hope it all works out.

    You're right. The market is awash with books. I know George has a warehouse of stock beside the thousands of volumes he has in the shop.

    Excellent, good for you both.
    Hopefully I'll get them when he's read them.
