How does the Reverse Book Club work?
The Reverse Book Club allows book lovers to support people around the world who cannot get their hands on books. As it costs around £2 to choose pack and ship each book, a monthly donation (捐款) of £6 helps send three books every month. We ship books to over 25 countries. We have strong relationships with the UK publishing (出版) industry, so all of our books are donated free of charge (免费).
What will you receive in return?
You won’t receive any books! But if you like, we will send you newsletters with stories of the people who use the books you help to send.
What types of books are sent?
We only send new, up-to-date and valuable books. Over half are children’s books to help children discover the pleasure of reading. We also send pleasure-reading books for all ages, higher education books and medicine and healthcare texts.

【推荐3】Passport control
If you are arriving at London Heathrow Airport and are not transferring to another flight outside Britain or Northern Ireland, you must pass through Passport Control and Customs immediately after leaving your plane. If you are not Britain or a citizen of the European Community(欧共体),you must fill out a special form before your passport is examined. This form is called a landing card and should be given to you during the flight to London.
After landing, follow the ARRIVALS signs. Make sure you are in the right channel when you reach Passport Control. There is one channel for holders of European Community Passports, and a second channel marked “Other Passports”.
Baggage Reclaim Area(取行李处)
After passing through the Passport Control, follow the signs to the Baggage Reclaim Area. If you have luggage which is carried in the aircraft hold, it will be delivered to you in the Baggage Reclaim Area. Look for the sign with your flight number. If you have only hand luggage, go directly through the Baggage Reclaim Area to the Customs.
Customs
All passengers must pass Customs after Passport Control. There is a choice of two channels: Green and Red. If you have nothing to declare, go through the Green Channel. If you are not sure about your Duty Free allowance(免税限额)or if you have something to declare, go through the Red Channel. Information about Duty Free allowance can found on special notice – boards in the Baggage Reclaim Area. You should study this information carefully whether you are going through the Red Channel or not. Please note that if you go through the Green Channel, you may be stopped and asked to open your luggage for inspection.
