All Beneficial      Cathy McAllister

The event is done with the aim of providing buyers with books on affordable price and sending the raised money to local charities, for example, Arizona Friends of Foster Children Foundation and Literacy Volunteers of Maricopa County. Cathy loved it and this time too she could not help but volunteer once again. 

Not Just A Show

The woman does not get a single minute for herself when the arrangements for the show begins. She even stops going to her house and spends her days in the warehouse only. She has a deep affection for the show and does everything in her power to make it a big success.

A Book

Volunteering Again

Like usual, she was sifting through the pile of books when her hands get a grip of a book titled  “The Decline And Fall Of The Roman Empire,” by Edward Gibbon. Not to mention, it was a worn out version of the book. 

Taking A Shot

Except for the faded color of the cover, the book was in a readable state. Apart from this one, Cathy had gotten her hands on three of these books but all of them were in better condition as compared to this one. Clearly, the book was about to be subjected to repurpose. She included it in the “repurposing” pile.

Thorough Inspection

“The Decline And Fall Of The Roman Empire”

She herself was a big bookworm and so knew the importance of a good book. But before putting it in the collection she decided to inspect it to confirm that the book was fine. She opened the book not expecting to see what was kept inside between the pages. 

Hollowed Out

Surprise

Cathy had not imagined that the book she was holding was not merely a book but also the guard of a secret. As soon as she opened the cover, she realized that there was a hollowed out part of the book that appears to be concealing something.
