点评:Before stumbling across this shop in a shopping mall in Sale I'd never heard of the Global Educational Trust. It turns out they're a charity with a growing number of outlets across England and Wales that give away second hand books completely free of charge to encourage people to read. I read a lot of books anyway so I don't need encouraging to read more but it was great to see how busy this shop was, with people of all ages including families with young children browsing the shelves. There are all sorts of books including fiction and non-fiction from which you can take away up to three at a time. I assume a lot of them are then returned once they've been read for others to enjoy.
If anyone from GET is reading this then can I suggest that you open a new shop in Llandudno or Colwyn Bay? There's a couple of location in Wales already but none in North Wales yet. You'll have a least one regular customer if you do!

如果 GET 的任何人正在阅读本文,那么我可以建议您在兰迪德诺或科尔温湾开设一家新店吗?威尔士已经有几个地点,但北威尔士还没有。如果您这样做,您将拥有至少一位常客!
