If I am not back by Wednesday - Trapped in Jamaica's Blue Mountains; another contribution to the National Library of Jamaica. By depositing copies of his book in the National Library, a riveting recollection of his experience of being lost in Jamaica's Blue Mountains in 1967, author Geoffrey Haddad has contributed to the record of our nation's published heritage and development.
While it is a requirement by law to donate to the nation's principal legal depository, copies of any book published in or about Jamaica, there is certain joy and pride knowing that your personal account will be archived for posterity so that others in years to come can explore, discover and connect with your experience.
To make this process even more meaningful, Geoffrey was invited to address the staff of the National Library of Jamaica on his publication. In this way, they are all the more empowered to assist researchers. Thanks to Tony Patel and his lenses for capturing this event.
Already, Geoffrey has sold over 3000 copies. Colour copies are available online and of course his alma mater, Jamaica College, from which this near-death mission was hatched, benefits from copies sold by the school at 189 Old Hope Road, Kingston 6, Jamaica.
