Used

On Saturday Amos and I were going to go down to Sun Valley to turn in his car to a "Cash for Clunkers" type place.  I wanted to go on an adventure and thought of trying to find a used bookstore in Sun Valley, but then told myself that I didn't need to spend money on books right now.

On my way to Amos' house, I stopped by the library to drop off my books because the library system told me I could not renew my books a fourth time. ;)  I walked in the automatic doors, looked to my left, and - what is this!  A library sale!  I took only enough time to drop off my books before I skipped right back into a medium-sized room filled with conference tables covered with boxes of books!

Fiction!  Non-fiction!  Encyclopedia sets!  Paperbacks!  Hardbacks!  Children's books!  Cookbooks!

Ahhhhh, book heaven.

I called Amos and found out that the car place he wanted to go to was already closed for the day.  I left my selected books (as yet unpaid for), picked up Amos, and came back to the library.  I ended up spending $5.50 for five books.  Not bad!  Amos bought some books, too, including an Isaac Asimov trilogy that he's been looking for.

It was a good day.
