Book recycling, books4life in Amsterdam

I finally made it to the Joho-travelshop today (to get a drill from Maarten to make more holes in our walls), and was staggered to see lots of second-hand books on the groundfloor.

Peaking through I discovered many good books in English and got ourselves a book about the creation of myths, a book on "how to teach to write", the history of green social movements in the West, yet another survival-guide and one of Hunter S. Thompson. All for just 9 euro.

The place is great to have a quick scan if there is anything interesting. But what's even better: they accept old books. So we can leave them the ones we don't want here anymore. The place - Books4Life it's called - is good for our books, there is quite some travelers passing by, and 90% of what they make goes to charity (mainly Amnesty and Oxfam).
