Whenever there's an announcement for a library book sale anywhere in Western Massachusetts, my heart starts to pound fast inside my chest.
Despite shelves in this house being jammed with books, there is no way such a sale is going to be ignored.
After all, there are splendid gift possibilities there, right?
One can buy great books for practically pennies, right?
There are cds, dvds, and movies, too, all for cheapie prices, right?
Right on for all of those questions.
Okay, so there was a sale a couple of weekends ago that, in the past, has always been great. It definitely did not disappoint. Last Christmas, a highlight of the holiday season was attending a wonderful Kathy Mattea concert. So, at the sale, when I saw one of her cds for $1, I had to restrain myself from yelling out loud. She has a great voice and I did not have this cd. The sale was off to a great start.
Next came a Play Time for Baby set of two cds! There are always going to be babies born. Same with the book, "Prayers for Children." The photographs are nicely painted. Looks like I cannot give this one away because someday I'll have grandchildren. (Please God?)
The late Adelma Simmons used to run Caprilands, a huge herb farm operation in Connecticut so I had to pick up this one. After all, I want to grow some herbs this summer.
Now who cannot benefit from learning more about cooking healthy? In our home library there are several books by Dr. Andrew Weil. He lives in Tucson, Arizona. So I was happy to pick up these old-fashioned cassette tapes to listen to.
This one will be great to care for items offered on my eBay site:
Well, I don't like posts to be too long so that's all I'll share today about my new found library book sale treasures.
When I read about books someday being obsolete, replaced entirely by Nooks, one thought flashes through my mind, namely, hope I'm dead by then because I love books.
DO YOU PREFER READING BOOKS VIA THE NEW TECHNOLOGY OR DO YOU PREFER REGULAR BOOKS?
