    I am very surprised that nothing was said about the book sale at West Nyack library. This was to help raise money to fix some of their rooms. We went as a whole family. they had a really nice selection..

    Steve,

    I missed that sale. Damn. I love library book sales and so do readers of this blog. Feel free to let us know in advance — that is if you don’t mind some company.

    What books did you get?

    I am a very well rounded reader. But i saw some books i didnt have. Like the star trek Klingon dictionary,book on the old series start trek aliens.
    2 old science encyclopedia’s (1 dollar?) you cant beat it.
    2 science fiction anthologies.

    we also got a few very old books on poetry and some shakespeare. these were slightly more money. 7-10 dollars each.

Well, maybe if it's about Benjamin Franklin and the Free Library of Philadelphia. READ MORE
