Round Two at the Friends of the Library Sale

I went back to the Friends of the Library sale today with my mom. This was the last day of the sale therefore things were half off and they want to get rid of stuff so they don't have to pack up as much. I have to say, it had been hit hard over the past two days; there were empty tables. But, of course, I always manage to find books to buy. It wasn't looking so good the first 15 to 20 minutes as there was nothing catching my eye but then I decided to really widen my net to things that looked interesting to me not just must haves.

Here are the trade and paperbacks:

... And that's it! Okay, 45 books, but they were dirt cheap at 50 cents for hardbacks except for three "new" ones at $1.50 each. And paperbacks were a quarter. Again, I do this in the event that the publishing industry will collapse (look what happened to the financial markets and they said THAT wouldn't happen) and I will be prepared. I am the book apocalypse bunker.

Happy reading,
