What better way to relax on holiday than with a book. Imagine yourself there, on a sun lounger, by a pool, reading a book. Nice isn’t it?

Butlins-a-like-Haven are giving away free books at 6 of their parks during august. When you arrive you will be given a bag bursting full of books. To be more precise… £50 worth! Now, that could just be two giant atlas books. But its more likely to be lots of cheaper books.

Haven has teamed up with “Reading For Life” to support “Great Family Escapes” for this campaign to get families reading again.

What is you opinion on this?

Sure the family at Haven might read one or two books from their gigantic new random collection, but what about when they get home? Will the Johnson Family go back to their old ways. A holiday is a holiday after all!

Chirs Andersons new book titled “FREE” costs $26.99, unless you were at the book party in New York, where it was given out free along with free nibbles and drink.

What is the truth about free information? Anderson says “If I can give you 90% of the book in half the time, I’m giving you back three hours of your life… Time is money.”
