Please visit our Book Bulletin 2019 crowdfunding project at CrowdPatch to buy ‘Book of the Day’ and other recommendations for our Winter 2019 catalogue and to volunteer your skills, experience and contacts. All funds raised will support the not-for-profit Jolabokaflod CIC’s programme.
List of advocates
This page comprises a collation of everyone who has recommended a title for inclusion in the Book Bulletin Winter 2018 catalogue. The list is displayed in alphabetical order of surname; each entry consists of the recommender’s full name, organisation and/or project, and twitter handle.
