The Cloisters in Highfield House bustled with bookish bargainhunters last Tuesday for a one-day sale of second-hand books. Professor Douglas Tallack, who taught and researched at Nottingham for the majority of his long academic career, donated books from his personal library to the Music for Everyone charity on his retirement. The sale, organised by Angela Smallwood (former member of UoN staff and now volunteering with Music for Everyone), attracted staff and students from across the faculty of Arts and raised over £400 in aid of Music for Everyone, the Nottingham-based music education charity. Thanks to all who attended and contributed.
Anyone who missed out on the sale of rare and classic works, including many volumes bought in the US and not easily sourced here, might want to pay a visit to Bookwise, Music for Everyone’s charity bookshop at 10 Goose Gate, Hockley, Nottingham, where the remainder of the donation will be lodged in due course.
