Believing that the Book is the perfect symbol of a Nation’s Culture, I also believe that it is the perfect partner for the Tourist industry.
Hay has, therefore, the opportunity to lead a new International Economy in a New International World.
a) Because thirty Booktowns worldwide have turned to me for advice and in September I am opening a Booktown in Iceland with the support of The President.
b) Because the original Booktown in Montolieu in Carcassone in the South of France is now eager to revitalize Second Generation Booktowns after some mistakes were made in our original twinning with Redu.
c) Working to the mantra “The New Book promoted by its Author is a National Economy; the Secondhand Book promoted by its Subject is an International Economy. The New Book is for the Ego, the Secondhand Book is for the Intellect,” both because it returns Hay to the original inspiration which created it from ideas by my Uncle William King at the British Museum, and because on this basis Hay was the Official Rural Tourist Attraction in 1976 and was visited by the American Ambassador, Anne Armstrong.
Putting together, therefore, the two major sources on inspiration in civilization, the Book and Travel, can have spectacular results for the Future of the Book, Self Sufficient Rural Tourism, and in breaking the political domination of the Tourist Industry which dooms all Rural areas worldwide to destruction.
With such substantial issues at stake, we are fortunate to have in Cusop, John Bramble, the most brilliant Classics Don of his generation, from Corpus Christi College Oxford, whose Father was amongst those responsible for the breaking of the Enigma Code and thus shortening the Second World War.
He will act as my Facilitator and will be anxious to find other Facilitators and to add to the list of other Speakers that the Royal University of Cusop Dingle can find on the Relationship between the Book and travel. It will meet regularly in The Swan, and Patricia Daly will be Membership Secretary (01497 820088). We need democratic input from the Secondhand Booktrade in Hay in every possible way, because;
a) Ninety-five percent of the Tourist revenue is in the International World and can only be reached by the ordinary Secondhand Book.
b) Hundreds of Booktowns worldwide are waiting to open and will be linked by an international Atlas of Literary Topography which has enormous Welsh support.
c) Re-use being ecologically more efficient than re-cycling, the World’s Largest Economy of Poverty becomes the World’s Largest Green Economy.
I very much ope that you can come, because he decision by the Welsh Assembly to give £14 million to Amazon will mean the destruction of billions of secondhand books.
Next Meeting is at The Swan at 7.30pm on Thursday 11th September
