OMG. Just sold a book on Green Metropolis. Not sold one for AGES. And it's a super cr4ppy book. I HATED IT! It's called By Nightfall (don't read it!). Bonus is that the book was free, so anything off the postage will be a straight profit! YAY! Am encouraged to put more newer books on there. Mind you I have about 100 books on there and have only shifted about 10 over the last 3 or 4 years!

There are in excess of 130 million books in the world, with the average person reading one book per week.

The Carnaby Book Exchange is a space where you can pick up a book, relax in an armchair and explore the vast expanses of fashion, travel, music, photography, design and history, to name but a few topics. You are able to leave a book that you have read, and in return take one away from the space for free.

The project has been curated by the MA Fashion Curation students at London College of Fashion. Located in Kingly Court, just off Carnaby Street, you can even share your thoughts and recommendations on the book you are leaving behind, with the swapping concept not only involving the sharing of books, but also the sharing of memories. Carnaby is world renowned for being an incubator for fashion, music and style-tribes. The Carnaby Book Exchange will serve as an incubator for a passion shared, at what will possibly be London’s most diverse book club.

G5, Ground floor, Kingly Court, Carnaby, W1
Opening Hours: Monday – Saturday 8am – 6pm and Sunday 12pm – 6pm
Thanks for that info Tilly! o/

I am a bit desperate to get a good biography of Jullia Gillard and no idea where would be good (Lambeth Library being a bit useless!)

Yes I did yesterday! :D

If any other London area WBN givers would like to swap a book please PM me today or tomorrow and I'll keep a copy aside for you with your name on it.

I have copies of "How I Live Now" by Meg Rosoff :)

As tomorrow is World Book Night and you're supposed to hand them out that day they do prefer so. But if you let your pick-up point know you can't make it before then I'm sure they'll keep it aside for you (I know mine send an email about that)
