Rehoming 4 million books in Wallingford!

Have you ever wondered what happens when you throw away a book?

Turner-nominated artist David Shrigley made the news for pulping 6,000 copies of Dan Brown's best-seller The Da Vinci Code and republishing them as George Orwell's novel Nineteen Eighty-Four.

The artist sourced the books from Awesome Books in Wallingford - a company saving secondhand books from landfill and finding them new homes.

Someone who LOVES to read is reporter Anna Gray - so we sent her down there to check it out.
