World Book Night is coming, and so is a giant domino chain of books!

In honour of World Book Night, and to celebrate the 30th birthday of the Stirling Centre for International Publishing and Communication, we will be setting up and knocking down the biggest book domino chain ever to grace the halls of the Pathfoot building at the University of Stirling. The event will be on Monday April 23rd 2012 (of course) between 4 and 4.30pm in the Pathfoot Crush Hall, and we invite you all to come and watch us knock a bunch of books over in a very organised, harmless (to the books) way.

We’d like to give a huge thank you to our contributors for the generous donations and support from publishers, libraries, book trade and reading development organisations, book binders and authors: Floris Books, Stirling Libraries, Alban Books, Cargo Publishing, Freight Books, Publishing Scotland, Linda Cracknell of Best Book Books, Blasted Heath, Hazell Designs Books, Craig Robertson, Alloa Library, The Gaelic Books Council, Readathon, Saraband Books and Canongate.
