On other occasions, there may not be anybody to check. In that case, please make sure all your books are acceptable for sale (please see above).

Books not in the official book-list that are dropped off carelessly will be disposed of.

Stick the bookslip on the inside cover
(Stick it with a simple sellotape/scotch-tape. Don’t glue it.)

In the bookslip, these 2 items must be valid for the next 5 years:
