Free Book Swap in Edinburgh

Adam House
3 Chambers Street, Edinburgh
11am - 2pm
Free

To mark the 500 years of printing and publishing in Scotland, Publishing Scotland is teaming up with Edinburgh University and the Edinburgh UNESCO City of Literature team to run a massive Book Swap in the City on 1st April 2008.

Edinburgh residents, visitors and workers are invited to bring along a book they would like to recommend or swap and pick up another to take home. The event is free and Scottish publishers are donating hundreds of books of all kinds to get things started – children’s books, books on Scottish history, walking guides, biography, academic, sport, novels . . . there really will be something for everyone.

The giant Book Swap will take place at Adam House, 3 Chambers Street (opposite the National Museum) from 11am – 2 pm on Tuesday 1st April, entry is free and everyone is welcome to browse, chat, relax and enjoy a coffee and some great books in their lunch hour.

We will be asking people to write two lines on why they would recommend the book they’ve brought and we’ll pin all of them up for everyone to read. All recommendations will be entered into a prize draw for one of the great prizes donated by Scottish publishers.
