Sharpshooter:
Preservation Alumni -- a group run by the alumni of CU's GSAPP, last P
program -- has an annual booksale to benefit the group, a non-profit. Money
raised goes to general operating fund and is used for seminars, the annual
symposium (at which the booksale is held), and for contributions to the P
program (equipment of the laboratory, books to Avery's Catalogue collection,
etc.)
Have you any interest in donating to same? I'd be happy to arrange pick-up?
