Alcoblog Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 I've got Mary Shelley's 'Frankenstein' and a darned fine book it is too! Unfortunately, it's on my kindle and not too sure if I could print it out for someone. The other problem being that I've only got about three sheets of printing paper left ... bit of a non-starter really. Don't know why I bothered writing this to be honest.

Alcoblog Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Print them on the back of your bank statements. No dedication, some people. Electronic banking ... I'd have to print out my bank statements first, then print Frankenstein on the other side of the paper. Seems slightly foolhardy if you ask me. What with only having three sheets of printing paper left, and the inclement blizzard preventing me from going out for an emergency re-ream.

chickywiggle Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 wow this forum really attracts the time wasters doesn't it. Registration for WBN 2013 is closed and all givers have been selected which may be why the link didn't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chem1st Posted April 23, 2013 Author Share Posted April 23, 2013 Happy World Book Night everybody. I'm off out to give away copies of 'Last night Another Soldier', by Andy Mcnab, it's a fairly quick read, and could be good for introducing people to reading (I'm thinking young men that don't read much). I'm keeping a couple separate, does anybody know how could I send these into prison? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
