As previously announced, I will bring the books along to the
Humbug meeting this Saturday, 27th August and will make them
available to people who are present at 6:00 pm.

I'm not going to insist on this (in case there are some genuine
poor students who are keen to get hold of a book), but I'd like
people to donate a gold coin for each book they take -- all the
donations will go to Humbug.

So that people can give some advance thought to this, I've typed
up a list of all the books and posted it at

    http://www.gbch.net/gjb/books.html

The list groups the books in rough categories, and shows title,
first author, publisher, whether there are any CDs included, and
a page count.  All the books are new and have never been read.

In order to avoid an unseemly free-for-all, I plan to distribute
the books individually starting at 6:00 pm.  Once the initial
interest has been met, I'll let people pick and choose on their
own.

Please note that you need to attend the meeting (or get somebody
to attend on your behalf) if you want any of the books.

Cheers, Greg
