Now in its third year, the Wola Nani book sale has become something of an institution not just for book lovers but also for those who collect great movies and music. Convened by bibliophile fundraisers, Well Read Books, the three-day sale will offer a comprehensive selection of popular reads. Fiction categories will include children's, contemporary crime, vintage detective, thrillers, historical novels, out-of-print favourites and romance. Non-fiction will include biography, cookery and armchair travel.

In addition, there will be an extensive selection of quality cult, classic and collectible CDs and DVDs for all movie and music enthusiasts.

The sale will be from 9am to 6pm on Thursday and Friday and 9am to 3pm on Saturday.

"The Wola Nani book sale provides much needed funding to support those living with HIV and AIDS both with treatment and though providing counselling," comments Well Read Books stall convenor, Mark Leach.

Wola Nani (Xhosa for 'embrace') is a non-profit organisation established in 1994 devoted to helping people living with HIV and AIDS to help themselves, as well as to bring relief to the communities challenged by the HIV crisis. Formed against a background of economic restrictions on welfare spending and a big increase in the number of HIV and AIDS cases, Wola Nani introduced programmes to help HIV + people in the local communities cope with the emotional and financial strains brought about by HIV and AIDS.
