Brandeis book sale, part 4 (aren't you all sick of this by now?)

[mayhap]

Muah. I am now, like, swimming in books. I could actually do that, I think. Like Scrooge McDuck swimming in his vault of gold coins. It would be about as logistically probable.

As always, the sale was supposed to open at 10:00, but by 9:30 there were vultures with their boxes already twitching the sheets off the tables over the the feeble protests of the aged volunteers about fairness and such. Fortunately, I was there at 9:15, so no worries there. ;)

*sighs happily*

I miss my coercedbynutmeg. Here's hoping she gets herself some intarwebnet, soon.

Well, go on then - what did you get at the $5 a box day? Any gems?

It's very strange. We have a booksale at the uni where I work/did my degree that's organised in almost exactly the same fashion. I hate the $5 box days, because everything good has gone, and Roger comes home with boxes o' crap (usually crappy sci-fi). Seriously. :D

Mm. How's the nose?

I miss my university's yearly book sale! It was always in October, and I worked at the library so we would get to check it out the night before, in case there were any great finds.

The best thing I ever found was a book called 'The Cosmic Crystal Cycle' by a man with the moniker of, and I kid you not, Ra Bonewitz. It was all about how people evolved from, or into, crystals, and they were the highest form of life. Or something. Totally worth the 25 cents I spent on it. :)
