Winter Reading - free books

[robbins]

I have three bags of books (all of which I would say would appeal more to ladies but no discrimination ) anyway if you would like them you are welcome to collect we live near the new development Piramat Ege our Turkish mobile is 05380915589 I would appreciate collection ASAP please otherwise it will be the bin just clearing out .
Thanks Faye

That's so kind of you Faye but it seems you are in the Dalaman area of Turkey? And I live in Side on the south coast not far from Antalya airport ... so, a bit too far to travel for books I fear ... also Ann of Kale Emlak sells English books for 5 TL in Side outside of her office 6 days a week ... she has hundreds of books for sale but I am sure she would welcome yours too to add to her collection ... me too!

If anyone is driving between Dalaman and Side, perhaps they would be good enough to bring them to us? I would willingly pay the cost of the petrol for that journey.

Whatever happens, I wish you luck with your move and to offload those English books in particular.

Thanks for replying it seems no one in Dalaman is interested it’s a shame you are so far away but I will keep for a few more days just in case there might be late comers x

Hi Robbins, could you drop them off at or contact a local charity group/shop? They are always grateful for donations

Alternatively there is the Animal Aid charity in Fethiye, they do a lot of fundraising & Car Boot sales

Animal Aid Fethiye Helping to Match Pets with Loving Owners - Fethiye Times

Would be a shame to see them go to waste

[robbins]

As you say shame to go to waste but as no one has shown any interest the bin it is ,
I am unaware of charities around here if I put them by the side of the bin maybe some one might pick them up and pass them on never mind eh !

For poor children you have to contact the town hall of Dalaman.
Kadir Firat is the person you have to talk to.

Dalaman needs also help in other projects ( animals - stray dogs)
Kadir is also the ideal partner for these kind of things.

and there is a small place in Göcek,
Göcek Friends of Animals and Environment Association
they urgently need help.
Leader is Gülden, a wonderful person.

And this charity is actually in Dalaman = http://www.straydogsinturkey.com/

Angela, please stop offering me up for books on TLF. I've been selling books for almost 22 years now to fund the feeding, sterilisation and other vet's bills for the street-cats.
The system I use works extremely well. As you say, I do have hundreds of books here for people to choose from and that is only because.........my system works well.
When we have too many books here during the winter months, I also off load a few to other places so that they can make them available to their customers.

No offense meant, just saying.

So sorry Ann - I had thought that you would be happy to take more boxes - I stand corrected and won't be posting for more books for you in the future. x Angela x

So sorry Ann - I thought you wanted all the books you could get - I stand corrected and won't be offering for books to go to you on any Forum in the future. x Angela x
