This year’s Book Fair will be held on Saturday, April 25, from 10:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. at Temple University Japan in Minami-Azabu. Are your own bookshelves groaning under the weight of unwanted books? Send English-language books in fair to excellent condition to the address below any time between now and April 22. Are you looking for reading matter at bargain prices? Come to the Book Fair and pick up hardbacks for ?300 or paperbacks for ?100 each. Every genre of fiction, a variety of nonfiction, and Japan-related volumes will be among the selection for sale.

In addition, check out the many services offered by Temple University’s library if you are not already familiar with this useful resource. Plan on taking some time to browse through the facilities; helpful library staff will be available to answer your questions.

The easiest way to get to Temple University Japan is to take the #6 bus bound for Shimbashi from Shibuya station (on the Tokyu Bunka Kaikan side). Get off at Furukawabashi (the tenth stop, about 20 minutes from Shibuya station) and continue walking up the street in the same direction as the bus was traveling for about 25 meters. The Book Fair is on the 4th floor, opposite the library.

Please mark your calendars for April 25 and tell you friends about this once-a-year opportunity to acquire books and/or free some shelf space. Any questions should be faxed to 03-3371-4839. Please do not contact Temple University directly.
