Needed Second Hand Or Unwanted Books

[Drag0nboy]

Hi I am offering a book swapping service from my new coffee shop in Chalong and need a donation of any unwanted books to get me started I will pick them up and may be able to pay a small amount if required... I dont sell them its literally a service offered to the clients (a lot of them people on yachts who are tired of reading the same books) to swap their old books for new ones 1 for 1 Any donatins would be gratefully received by me and my customers

For directions/ photos etc: Go to google maps and type coffee shops Phuket and zoom on chalong bay and you will see the market for Services Phuket

So you want to get something that is then an attraction for the shop.. To bring in customers..

But want it free (or really cheap).

A friend did the same for his bar.. Except he purchased them from bangkok.

The guy just wants a book exchange in chalong which is seriously lacking there at the moment....the nearest bookshop is close to the zoo...and it looks very germanic....i will gladly be involved in exchanging books....also isnt the reason why we are here is advertising and information sharing??? If you know everything what are you doing on this information sharing website?

A little surprised that people from yachts need a free book service.

I would think they could buy books from the bookstore.

yachties mostly are good fun guys but because the wind is free....they think everything else should be too

The boat guys are renowned balloon chasers so why would books be any different?

If they would just spend a little money on some soap i think maybe i could tolerate sitting next to them in the bar.

Thanks fo rthe feedback as always its been useful .....

I am willing to pay for the books but also am aware that people move/ go home and cant take them with them. I already have approx 150 books in English and other languages but would like a larger selection. I buy them then when I am finished give them to the shop for the clients, also I have clients donating books and swapping.

The whole idea was to save people from having to go to the shop near the Zoo or to Kata - I thought that was a good thing!

Anyway if anyone has any books that they want to donate or SELL then I will be happy to talk to them. Thanks

I live nearby and would be happy to drop some off for you. I think I know which shop but please PM me to confirm, thanks!

PS. If you're looking for books on the cheap, B2S is having a big sale now on 2nd floor Central (near the AIS, 3BB, CAT shops).

I think that is exactly his plan. And good on him!

OP - I don't really have an old selection to give away, however I will keep you in mind when the times comes for a new book!

Thanks for the support and feel free to pop in and browse the selection!
