The Big Book Swap

This afternoon, I met up with fellow bookcrosser, Pakasanelly, and went to The Big Book Swap, part of the Essex Book Festival. The event took place in the Colchester Arts Centre, a church near the Mercury Theatre, and was in conjunction with BBC RaW website, a literacy campaign. The idea was to bring a book and swap it for another, then swap it on again afterwards.
BBC Radio Essex was there and we were asked to answer a few Qs on air, so managed to plug BC.

I took a good bunch of books with, all registered with bookcrossing. Would be lovely to get a catch from there.
