Tidy up RadstormTomorrow, Sunday January 22nd, the Elderberries will host what is as far as we know, is the city’s first used 2SLGBTQ+ Gay & Lesbian Book Sale. We have between five and six HUNDRED books, all part of, or about, queer culture to sell very cheaply - a buck or two for most of them, more for new books.
Please, spread the word to your gay and lesbian friends that there will be a lot of books, for not much money!
We’ll also have special guest, local author Bruce Bishop, signing his books and of course I’ll be there showing off the magical art and music, literature creation space, Radstorm as well.
The book sale starts at 1 o’clock Sunday afternoon and is over at 4:30, at Radstorm, 2177 Gottingen Street.
If you missed any of that, google gay halifax local events.
Big Q Book Sale!
When: SUNDAY, January 22nd, 1:00 - 4:00pm Where: Radstorm, 2177 Gottingen Street FB Event: https://fb.me/e/qHRYBTdLN

Local author Bruce Bishop will be there signing his very Halifax, very Q books too!

To donate books,
OK here's the important thing I need help with: At the end of the day, leftover books are going into the dumpster. I know that the very next day, SOMEONE will say, YOU MONSTER HOW COULD YOU!! ORGANIZATION X WOULD HAVE LOVED TO HAVE THOSE!! YOU ARE AN EVIL BAD PERSON!!
Which I don't want to happen.
So it's important that I contact EVERY POSSIBLE ORGANIZATION that might want them, and we need to be seen to be doing that.
So I need your help identifying those.
Dan book the space Who will run the coffee shop? Who will take the rare books to the book store? Five guys to shift the books that morning Cecilia will make a poster to put up at the Glitter Bean, Staggers, social media, etcFlat Rate to Radstorm vs. Elderberries & Radstorm
Sorting / Tables
How can we let Glitter Bean Library / BBB Get A Reasonable Selection?
Should we let volunteers get a first crack at the books?
Donor codes and tallies have been moved to a google sheet here.
Marshall at Venus Envy Post a reply to the original FB post: https://www.facebook.com/groups/588709957911684/permalink/5729074100541885/ Post Porn on its own table. We should be prepared for separate tables for male and female porn.
Barend says: Separate displays/tables for hard covers, soft covers, mags, porn. IF TIME group by subject. IE biographies, novels etc in separate stacks. Place "cashier" at the beginning of the display tables to avoid er missing payments.
Is there any reason NOT to have price tags on some books?
Is there any reason not to do some consignment books?
