Do you have any posters of children's books? If so, please read. SUBJECT: POSTER EXCHANGE To Whom It May Concern: The purpose of this letter is to ask if you are willing to do a “poster exchange” with me. I am preparing an exhibition entitled "Exhibition of Excellent English Children’s Books, Posters and products". The exhibition will be in significant exhibition halls, such as Chiang Kai-Shek Memorial Hall, etc. in Taiwan, Shanghai and Beijing in early 2005. So far, I already have quite a few posters for this exhibition. However, I am still in lacking of those popular, classic and folkloric standards. I need children’s book related posters such as Alice in Wonderland, The Little Woman, Charlie’s Chocolate Factory, Charlotte’s Web, and so on. I desperately need them to match the books I will display.I contacted publishing houses. Most of them do not keep copies of their promotional posters. Authors and illustrators were not usually kept informed if their books’ covers were ever printed into posters. I now several electronic sources, such as eBay, may sell those. However, I am not able to afford that great of a cost for the posters I need (usually $10 or higher plus shipping and handling fees). In addition, purchasing “promotional” posters does not seem appropriate for my exhibition projects because my project’s aims are for voluntary promotion of USA children’s authors, illustrators and to make their books familiar to Chinese and! Taiwanese. Therefore, I am sorry if I seem abrupt in asking for your support in my seeking free or nearly free posters. If you are willing to do a poster exchange with me, my return to you will be a poster or posters the subject of which will be reading, culture, or of tourism in Taiwan or China. If you do so with me, I will put your name as the contributor, I will keep to my professional/academic ethics in properly using your exchanged poster, and will not re-sell them at any time, in any place.The others I am doing include the following: * I am close to finishing a reference book (in Chinese) guiding Chinese-speaking parents and teachers in the selection of excellent English children’s books published in the USA. * Aiding in the establishment of an English education Resource Center in Taiwan. * Providing consultation to bilingual preschools and elementary schools in Taiwan and China on sound English education resources.I am relying on your generosity to achieve these ext! remely important goals. I believe this venture would be mutually benef icial, both to the educational structure of Taiwan and China, and your school. Your assistance means a great deal to Chinese-speaking communities, and it would be deeply appreciated. I thank you in advance for your consideration and support.
