03 Jul 2012 - Book Swap @ Old Oak

Postby Dancing Queen » Mon Jun 18, 2012 2:56 pm

Book Swap!!!

Whether you have books to swap or not, come on out! I have a small stack of amazingly fantastic books to share and perhaps others will too. This event is a great way to avoid paying big bucks for books written in English :D It is also a great chance to have easy conversation and meet some new people.

Please register so I know how many to tell the guys at the pub. We will have a reserved spot in the non-smoking section. All the staff speaks English and the place is not so big, so don’t be shy in asking where the Vienna Expats book swap group is sitting!

When Tuesday, July 3rd, 18:00-20:00
Where O’Connor’s Old Oak, Rennweg 95, 1030 Vienna
Please check the website for a map! http://www.oconnors.at/contact.html
You can get there by Tram 18, Tram 71, Bus 74a, S-bahn or the U3 to Schlachthausgasse (and ~10 minute walk). Use the trip planner at http://www.wienerlinien.at/eportal/ep/home.do?tabId=0 or PM me from where you will be traveling and I can help provide directions.

O’Connor’s Old Oak is a great spot for drinks and dinner too – I will arrive slightly before 6pm and will surely order myself some food at some point in the evening, feel free to join me.

thanks for organising this - with summer hols around the corner, it is a good time to stock up on books!

Holy Moly - we haven't had one of these in a while.

I will try to make it, I have a few of morgenhund's books to return at least! :D

Now that I am back in some sort of semblance of order in Vienna for awhile I may be able to attend this one... depending on how I feel after my weekend in Croatia...
You are never lost only finding new and interesting places...

Which means never forget your towel...

I would be interested in coming, at the very least it will give me a chance to meet with some people from this group as I have been unable to do that yet.

I'm going to try and make it, although I can't say I have much to swap.

I'll have to cancel - ladies with my books, put them back into the pile, and they'll hopefully get back to me somehow!

Bummer!!! I was hoping I could hand over any surplus books to you for future swaps. :-)

I refuse to bring any back home with me as my only mission this month is clean out and pack.

Maybe O'connors will want to start a book corner....or maybe I will just make them.

I could call by at 8pm to collect them all - but will struggle before then because of a work deadline.

Work deadlines...yuck. Sounds like not the best day for you - I will leave it to you as to whether you would like to swing by at 8pm...maybe one of the other ladies might be willing to take any unclaimed books too! If you like, PM me your number and I could provide an update around 7pm of the necessity of english book collection :D
