    I got the first two books over to Jan's college library today. The Janet McArthur Memorial Book Trust has officially been born!

    Well done Jim, that's a very kind and generous thing you are doing. I'm sure Jan would be proud of you mate.

    I'd just like to echo the sentiments of Mark and Phil, and wish you all the best in this new venture.

    Thank you, everyone.

    Eight books in the collection so far: three (and maybe more) more will be added by week's end.

    Whenever I open one of the books I've donated, and see Jan's face smiling at me from inside the back cover, I think she's smiling because of the work of the Book Trust!
