Just what I needed, more book!
A library book sale day is always jolly. Today's was at our hometown Lamar library, in the lovely new renovated facility that just opened in August.
We have a whole new scheme for these sales, now that I have MINIONS! It's great! I roll along, scanning the books with my eagle eye and book-data enriched brain, while Damaris follows along, accepting each chosen volume, boxing it, and toting it away to a safe spot where Zach, today's Grand-minion, guards it and its fellows with his young life. So we scored 3-400 books in just a hair over 3 hours. One of them was a rare paperback I have sold copies of several times before for over $100. So color me pleased.
But don't worry about our library. I also spent a few hours last week checking out some of the nicer looking donations, and pulled a boxful that should bring them a few thou, which I sell for them for free as a sort of thank you. So we all win!
