Rgding Books exchange

applegirl SG

Would it interest you, read it from the newspaper article todae.

(Hello applegirl, I have deleted your image because it is very difficult to read with such a large image. Hope you wont mind.) Very Happy

Bluesky_Liz SG

You still have to pay for postage...

Personally, with all that trouble, I'd rather just go to the library. Cool

applegirl SG

but won't it be great to actually have another book you are interested at, at the same time books you felt waste to discard are given to people who appreciates?

in the article, books which are wanted to be donated to the national library received no takers?

doesn't this makes people puzzled, that the library whom said to publics that they welcome donation of books actually chooses the books they receive and rejects those which they believes not popular by many??

Bluesky_Liz SG

I’m not surprised the library rejects books they think are just going to be left on the shelf, or if they already have a few copies in stock. The library is not a place for infinite storage of books.

DeadPoet SG

Actually I was thinking about the same thing this morning. Laughing

DeadPoet SG

Hmmmaybe we can start one in sgforums, should be quite simple.

Just post the book you want to exchange here and those who are interested to exchange can post theirs under the same thread. You can even write a review for those who are not familiar with the book. Very Happy

So applegirl do you have any book that you wish to exchange?

DeadPoet SG

If you want you can also exchange your VCDs, DVDs, CDs, etc. You can exchange them here, start a new forum or maybe even here in DPS (S) since most of us love books and music. Very Happy

Actually I am thinking of exchanging a few books too. Laughing

KittynMeow SG

not going to work for me… cos I’m absolutely selfish when it comes to books. I keep my books for myself…. kekekekeke

expiringpoet SG

I dont mind swapping cos I'm so absent-minded I tend to buy the same books twice Rolling Eyes

I've got a Jeffrey Archer and an Anne Rice and a Kazuo Ishiguro to swap with anyone who has a Christian Jacq Egyptian series Smile

DeadPoet SG

I keep most of my books for myself too. But for a few of them I have no idea why I bought them at the first place.

Actually I prefer to exchange VCD. Laughing

DeadPoet SG

Nope. Don't have. Laughing

DeadPoet SG

Who want to exchange VCDs with me? Laughing

KittynMeow SG

Is Christian Jacq's Egyptian series any good?? I was rather hesitant to pick it up in the stores because some authors tend to over-romanticise things when writing fiction based on historical characters....

expiringpoet SG

I like it cos I've always had this fascination for Egyptian history/civilization.You get to read about the kings and queens, egyptian gods and myths, medicine and science, politics and wars then - pretty engrossing Smile
Bras Basah bookstore (2nd hand), i think on 4th flr was selling 'Black Pharaoh' for $2 the other day. Not sure if it's still there but if you're interested... Wink

DeadPoet SG

Maybe we can have an outing at Bras Basah. Mr. Green

missqi SG

Confused

Wink

Bluesky_Liz SG

I don't have it, but I know where you might be able to find a cheap copy. I saw a copy at Sunny Bookstore at Far East a while back. You might try looking there if no one online offers.

missqi SG

Thanks.
I realised I spelled it wrongly.
Very Happy
