'Pay it forward' Book give-a-way

Sparky415 · **on:** July 02, 2011, 04:15:31 PM

I have just finished reading 'Pay it forward'

In the spirit of the book I will send it on to anyone who would like to read it (It's more or less like the film)

So If you would like me to send it to you add your name and (if there's more than one person on the list) I will pick a random number next weekend

1 -
2 -
etc

There's not a lot of interest in a paper back book here

Did you all see the film?

This is a Tri lingual book, Its printed in English, American and Australian

I would definitely be keen on that idea, Pacu.

I have a plethora of books I'd be willing to swap, though I only have three Foxfire books I'd be willing to swap (they're duplicates

).

Should we start a new thread? I, for instance, have a number of John Grisham, sci-fi, and old school books that would be fair game if someone had a book that interested me.

That is crazy talk I do most of my reading whilst 'roosting' on the throne

.
Thanks mate for the offer to send it on

.
I too will send it onto anyone else who is keen to read it

.
Pacu & Tony we should write a wee note in the cover saying who has read it & were we are

. Get that book looking like a well traveled passport

To be honest this thread wasn't as popular as I had hoped

But I had a bit of fun with it in the end

Signing the book sound like a nice idea

Pacu · **Reply #21 on:** July 19, 2011, 12:53:07 AM

look what arrived today in the post.

a good book to read now the harry potter bit is all done, an awesome lil torch for when the hurricanes blow the lights out starting next month, and the coin drenched in luck. As a big believer in talismans this one is going into my wallet to bring me further good luck.

Many thanks Tony for a great giveaway

Nothing better than free books

Once read it's off to MultiMat .

I do like coins as much as books. I had to do a little research on it after checking out the coin.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Threepence_(British_coin)

Elizabeth II threepences

The physical dimensions of the brass threepence remained the same in the reign of Queen Elizabeth II. The effigy of the queen produced by Mary Gillick was used, with the inscription ELIZABETH II DEI GRA BRITT OMN REGINA F D used in 1953, and ELIZABETH II DEI GRATIA REGINA F D used in all other years. The reverse shows a Tudor portcullis with chains and a coronet, with the inscription THREE PENCE date. This coin was produced in all years from 1953 to 1967, and in 1970 (in proof sets only).

Following decimalisation, the brass threepence ceased to be legal tender after 31 August 1971.
