24-hour book sale collection

Donated books were collected at various sites in Dunedin and Mr Larkin was kept busy in Mornington from noon.

"We always get a response like this, year in, year out," he said.

The Regent Theatre’s 24-hour book sale will be held at the Edgar Centre on December 3 and 4.
