TGBC Book Swap 2018

Yet again piles of our goons have participated in our end of year book swap. This year we had 140 goons get involved and send guys they have never met a book, or books, or books and booze, or books and booze and a knife. I personally got a book about the lives of two fighters before and after one kills the other in the ring, a zine of knockout poetry, a couple of gangsters trading cards and a drawing of the hammered Santa, so I was pretty fucking stoked, and I hope you were to.

We’d like to thank everyone who was involved, those who shared a photo of what they got on the Pool Hall, and especially thank those that managed to get their package in the mail in a reasonable time this year.

Hope everyone had a happy holidays with enough time to hit the books. See you soon.
