So, a local library has an semi annual book sale and the summer sale coincides with my birthday (tomorrow)!! I always treat myself with a trip to the sale; I get there early so I'm there when the door opens, take my huge fabric library bag, and take my time going through all the tables twice. Today I only spent $7 & came away with 14 books, some by authors that I'm just starting to collect (Daniel Silva & Carla Neggers). Now my own "stash" of need-to-read books is replenished and I'm a happy girl!! Oh, BTW, if you love library book sales the way I do, check out Booksalefinder.com for a listing of sales in your area.

I'm just in the process of getting books ready to donate for a local sale. It is run by a local church with the proceeds to be split between the church and the library.A good cause and good books for a reasonable price. Book sales are the best !

That's fabulous - Jancade. I do a book sale at our Fairgrounds every year. They have 2 huge rooms full of books. Last year I spent about $14.00 also and walked out with a good-sized box of books, at least a dozen.
In March, I'll take my books to the book drive and they will end up on the tables of the book sale at the Fairgrounds next summer. Love it!!

Sounds like you got new treasures. I've bought used cookbooks from Amazon before that were decently priced.

Avid reader here. Never, but never do I buy new - always used - from library book sales, tag sales, and most of all, Good Will. My local one has a huge selection of books. I read them, then give them back to recycle since I have limited space to store. And if I want to read a specific book that I can't find used - I order through my library which has access to all the libraries in the state. Win win for everyone.

I probably don't live near any of you, but I've been donating my used/unused cookbooks. I think it's neat to find something in a used cookbook that might tell where it's from originally. LOL. Kind of like a rare find.

Happy Happy Birthday and good job.
The Dr.'s wives auxiliary here in my town have a bi-annual book sale to raise $$ for the town. Thurs.-Sat. in Oct. and April. I always go on Sat. because you fill up (as much as you can get in there) a grocery store paper sack full of books and just pay a $1.00. No limit to how many bags and can be hard back or paper back. Novels to old encyclopedias. I have bought several bags but I have seen some couples with their trunks loaded down with many sacks. I love the book fairs.
Happy Birthday again!!
