USED BOOKS

We are now selling secondhand Quaker Books. These have been kindly donated to us by Friends and Meetings who no longer need them. This means the books can be read again by fresh eyes and the money paid goes to aid the work of FGC. Often the books are out of print and no longer easily found. The books are offered as reading copies, and are not usually in pristine condition. Maybe you have unwanted Quaker Books or Pamphlets. Contact grahamg@fgcquaker.org if you would like to make a donation of them.

A Text For Voices

BY JOHN REEVES
Written and arranged to be heard as well as read, these eloquent poems capture John Reeves' own experience of hearing Bach's work performed in various cities around the world.

The book includes an English translation of Bach's libretto.SECONDHAND COPY. PRETTY MUCH AS NEW with atmospheric tracing paper like dustcover.
