Old books for old!

Perhaps not as good a deal as Aladdin got, but I came aross this scheme at www.pl.sg

This allows us to get rid of books we've read (or not) and no longer want, and get books that other people no longer want. Sort of like going to the second-hand bookshop, but cutting out the middleman.

Just remember to bring your own bags to collect your books on Apr 25.
Here is their notice:
