Promoting books and Reading since 1985 Sponsorship Proposal for Patna Book Fair 2010 From 10 th December 2010 to 21 st December 2010 At Gandhi Maidan, Patna
Our Faith Our Books Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested. ~Francis Bacon A truly good book teaches me better than to read it. I must soon lay it down, and commence living on its hint... What I began by reading, I must finish by acting. ~Henry David Thoreau To read a book for the first time is to make an acquaintance with a new friend; to read it for a second time is to meet an old one. ~Chinese Saying No entertainment is so cheap as reading, nor any pleasure so lasting. ~ Mary Wortley Montagu "Tell me what you read and I'll tell you who you are" is true enough, but I'd know you better if you told me what you reread. ~François Mauriac If you have read what is written above you will know that reading Books leads us to light because Books are The beacon of knowledge. CRD is our vehicle to help people discover or retain the joy of reading. india.crd@gmail.com 2
