From thrillers to academic works

The ninth annual second-hand book sale at Trinity College, Dublin starts next Tuesday at 5.30 p.m. and continues for the following two days. As usual, a wide variety of items will be on offer, spanning everything from thrillers to academic works; the organisers say this year's sale is particularly strong on biography, Irish literature and biology. An auction of rare books, numbering almost 30 lots, will be auctioned by John de Vere White at 7 p.m. on Tuesday; admission on the first evening is £2 but free on subsequent days. Last year's sale raised more than £12,000, which was used to buy research materials for the college library and specialist departmental libraries. The sale takes place in the college's Exam Hall in Front Square.
