Update: Some Pics from yesterday’s book drop in Edinburgh

The book drop was a great success, with some books making their way to Stockbridge, The Royal Mile, Leith, Gorgie, Bruntsfield and even as far as Fife.

As pictures of the books come in, I’ll be posting them here.

Some of the first pictures have come from Richard Dyson @half_a_mind.

Announcement: Meeting time and venue

It looks like a few folks have volunteered to help with the book bombing that is Edinbooks on the 15th August 09.

For those who are interested in participating, we will be meeting at 11am at 135 George Street, (ring the buzzer for Ambergreen Internet Marketing) where I will distribute books for people to drop and make introductions. Some will be dropping in Leith, Stockbridge, New Town and Corstorphine. The plan is to re-group at 1.30pm for a drink and chat.

We intend to pick up books and scatter fairly quickly, so if you’d like to join in, please be at 135 George street no later than 11.15am. I’ll be closing doors by 11.45 at the latest.

If you’d like to get involved, but can’t make it at that time, please get in contact via email at cityferret@yahoo.co.uk or via Twitter @cityferret

See you then!

Hey all,

Here are some of the shots taken on Saturday’s Edinbooks book bombing of Edinburgh. Looking forward to the next one on the 2nd August. Book donations are already starting, so please feel free to join in!

Announcement: Edinbooks August 2009

Well – It looks like the 1st Edinbooks drop was a success. Aside from getting to see a lot of bits of the city I hadn’t visited in a while, I had the pleasure of seeing people pick up the books left behind and take them home. So far, a fair few folk have visited the site and tweeted support on Twitter.

The next book drop will be on Saturday 15th August and will involve a considerable increase in book numbers. I invite anyone who wants to get involved by contributing their time and/or excess books to get in contact.

You can contact directly at cityferret@yahoo.co.uk or leave a comment here.

More details will follow on how to get involved.

Happy Reading!
