Where: The Here for Good Community Centre, 17 Sydenham Road, SE26 5EX near the corner with Silverdale and next to Well Being, the health food shop.
When: Saturday 25th October from 10a.m.-1p.m.

Come and see if there's a book for you, or buy one as a gift for a friend.
Good opportunity to get some presents for birthdays or Christmas.
Lots of Children's titles too.
Gifts for sale as well, maybe good stocking-fillers?
Thanks to everyone who supported Book Aid last time, and to all of you who found your way to their warehouse:

If you want to visit the warehouse and book-room give them a call to check opening times: 020 8778 2145. If you want to donate books please call them too.
Anyone coming on Oct 25th? You could always combine it with a visit to Well-Being, On the Hoof, Cherry and Ice, Blue Mountain, Kente, Sugar hill cafe and Kirkdale Books as well as all the fantastic charity and other shops in the area. What an exciting place Sydenham is!
Pop-up book sale is back! Oct 25th 10-1pm
Re: Pop-up book sale is back! Oct 25th 10-1pm
I had a lovely time today dropping off flyers for the Pop-up Charity second-hand Book Sale which is on this Saturday 25th Oct at Here for Good Community Centre 17 Sydenham Rd (next to Well-Being) 10am-1pm
I started at Mayow Park café as it was so positively reviewed on this forum recently and had a lovely tom, mozz and pesto toasted sandwich and a wonderful Latte. I didn't want to leave but dragged myself up to the High St and visited Well Being, Here for Good Community Centre, Hill Top café, Sema's Café, Kente Coffee, On the Hoof and finally Cherry and Ice. Thank you to all of these places for being so positive about the book sale and letting me put posters up!
Hope to see you there on Saturday, remember it's only from 10am-1pm so don't forget to buy a book or two maybe for yourself or for a friend.... why not buy books as presents this year or one to read when you head off to have with your coffee and brunch?
Lots of children's books too, as well as a big range of seasonal titles...... (bit too soon to mention Christmas (shhhhh!)).
Come and meet Bob and Ada Hiley who set up Book Aid, they will be happy to answer any questions you may have.

Thanks to everyone for making the Charity booksale such a success.
We made more than double the amount that we took at our first pop-up book sale, all proceeds going to Book Aid.
Maybe Sydenham will be the next Hay on Wye????
Watch this space to hear when our next sale will be, maybe in the new year sometime.....
In the meantime there are loads of books, I mean 1,000's of books just waiting for you at the Book Aid Warehouse in Kangley Bridge Road SE26 5AQ. Go past The Bridge Leisure Centre, past Lower Sydenham Station and keep going, it's down the road on the right hand side.
If you missed the sale, didn't know about it, or just stayed in bed, why not give them a ring 0208 778 2145 and see when they are open (Mon-Thurs)?
There are some lovely retro books as well....... first come first served.
Thanks again.
