  • 1.  donate statistics books

    Posted 11-14-2021 11:22
    Hello - About 4 years ago ASA had a drive to send donated stat books to a library in Alexandria, Egypt. Now, I wonder whether there is still a process (either through ASA or elsewhere) for donating stat books that we no longer use. Does anyone know?

    Thanks,

    Al Feiveson

    My thanks to Alan Feiveson for this post, as well as his further reply to me offline.

    After searching a bit further, I found that Significance magazine, April 2018, p.41, had an interesting article about this great donation of books from ASA and others to the Library of Alexandria, to help cure "stataphobia":

    Thank you to everyone at ASA and elsewhere who contributed to that donation.
