13 Copies of the Wrong Book

[purplecat]

As part of writing a book CUP offered myself and my co-author free copies. So today I took receipt of 13 copies of someone else's book. Apparently CUP do not want this back so I'm not sure what to do with them - I suspect the local charity shops will not want.

There are three universities in Manchester - but I'm dubious I can offload more than about six via that route.

Fair. I was kind of thinking that there must be more 'nearby' that your university library might have appropriate arrangements.

The author (who we contacted) has suggested taking them to the university data science conference in a couple of weeks and leaving on a table with a "free to a good home" notice - which seems like the best idea.
