Books for free

By Alice | Published: July 6, 2012

There is a branch of the Healthy Planet: Books For Free initiative in Oxford (Oxford people: it is up Botley Road next to where Habitat used to be). They take books that are heading for landfill or pulping and give them out for free! This is what I have got from there so far, there isn’t anything wrong with these books apart from a little staining. Don’t be mislead by my selection though, there is a huge range, most of the books aren’t old ones like this but are children’s books, modern fiction, non-fiction etc etc. This type of book is always the one I make a beeline for though, aren’t old books wonderful :)
