An Unexpected Book Find

A new Half Price Books opened a few days ago, and I checked it out today. I did not find anything there, but I was impressed with how the management makes a store that has been open only three days look just like a store that has been in business for many months. The store had the full range of books and even had books in the clearance section. The clearance section amused me since the store just opened.

I then visited a thrift store where I found another ceramic Christmas tree. Next, I checked out a used book store that I visit occasionally. Much to my surprise, I discovered that the owner was liquidating his inventory. Every book in the store was $1.00! Of course many books had already sold, but many books remained.

I felt like I was at a library book sale except that I did not have to hurry. I pulled out the books that interested me the most, and then I thought about how far I wanted to go. I probably spent around 20 minutes looking over the children's books, and this is what I bought.

I probably have some duds in the bunch, but I tried to take what I thought would be of some interest to somebody. I will be keeping a few of the books. Most of the books will be sold, and many of them will be sold in lots. It's always fun coming home with a big stack of books.
