Used Book Sale aka “madhouse”
There will be a 2-day used book sale, sponsored by the Friends of the Thousand Oaks Library, this Friday from 6-9pm and Saturday from 10am-3pm. Held three times a year, these used book sales have a reputation of having some great finds for serious book collectors as well as the casual reader. They also have a reputation of getting pretty rowdy as people compete for the best books. I imagine the scene to be something like a toy store a few days before Christmas, only instead of crazy parents searching for the best toys there will be no-nonsense bibliophiles and bookworms searching for the rarest (and cheapest) books. I’m going to try to make it to the book sale after work on Friday or early in the morning on Saturday to see the madness up close and personal! One colleague has advised me to wear body armor…
