Friends of the Library Book Sale
“It is not unusual to see people buy scores of books at once, carting them out on something you would carry luggage on,” she said. “They line up an hour or more before the sale starts and when the doors open, they make a mad dash to various parts of the sale, piling large numbers of books into boxes.”
It sure isn’t unusual to see that, but I never see all that much I want to take home. I did get some kids books (a couple of colorful natural history references), and my best score was a hardback of Boswell’s “Life of Samuel Johnson” — with dust jacket — for a buck.
