Could those of you going to Nexus (and if not, why not as it's a really good weekend and has a B7 guest to boot) please start thinking about books for Oxfam?
I'll be selling SF books for Oxfam at Nexus (probably in the dealer's room, but possibily elsewhere when the dealer's room is shut, if there's a suitable space in the bar area).
I'd appreciate it if people could bring along donations of sellable books. We asked this at Redemption and had some really good condition books on crime, decorating, stress-management, history, SF and all sorts of subjects which I was able to take back and sell in the local shop.
The shop sells around 130 books a week (not counting the children's books which my friend Angie looks after) and we're forever in desperate need of new stock. Good condition paperback novels and all non-fiction books are always welcome. We also accept collectables and sell these at a realistic price.
If donations are brought to the dealers room, they can be given to my husband Richard who is easily recognised by the ginger-biscuit colour beard.
We've had a couple of large boxes of SF donated recently, so we hope to have a really good collection of books for fans to buy and we'll keep changing the books on display as there's too many to have them all out at once.

PS. We took 130 pounds for Oxfam at Redemption and 116 at Paragon, so hopefully Nexus will raise a similar amount.
