BLACK PEOPLE URGED TO BUILD PERSONAL LIBRARIES

BLACK PEOPLE URGED TO BUILD PERSONAL LIBRARIES A Special Spring Message and Offer from H. Khalif Khalifah FEBRUARY 1, 2009 SOUTHAMPTON COUNTY, VA – As I prepare to host my first radio program this coming Wednesday, “Khalifah’s Booknotes” on www.harambeeradio.com, I want to impress on black people the importance of building personal libraries. I have helped to establish many bookstores throughout the NBC (National Black Community). I am now developing a program that will make it possible for individuals to establish large collections of books by, for and about Black people. After 35 years in the book industry as Publisher, Printer, Distributor, writer, editor, and collector of books, I’ll now make many in my inventory of about 1200 titles available to the general community. NAT TURNER DISCOUNT BOOKSTORE TO OPEN I am going to open The Nat Turner discount bookstore this spring on Khalifah’s Estate, in Southampton County, Virginia. The discounts that are usually available only to businesses, will now be available to individuals who are serious about building large, or moderate libraries in their homes. I know many folk who have built sizable collections one or two books at a time. I am now making it possible to collect with the purchase of ten or twenty books at a time at trade discounts. Some credit will also be available (just as it is for good wholesale and bookstore buyers). The books that are available are not “extra” or outdated titles. As anyone can see by going to http://blackwritersalliance.com . Individuals can come in and select the collections in person, or we will ship the most economical way. Ideally, you will call your order in advance, we’ll have it ready for you when you arrive. However, we will be ready to take orders, and ship books, or email khalifahpublishing@khabooks.com For every book that the buyer purchases, we will give them five books free from our inventory. The book will be of our choosing, but the ‘choosing’ will be from a preferred list by the buyer. I am going to post about 100 titles at the above Place for The Black Writers Alliance: Go there and click on “My Photos” to view a partial list of books. Remember to tune in to www.harambeeradio.com this Wednesday to ask your question in Cyber. As we began a new year, and a renewed commitment “to make my maximum contribution to the total uplift, total freedom of Black people, this offering will be accepted in that light.
