...12 videos, 1 dvd and 3 cds.

I just love library book sales.

Probably 90% of the books are non-fiction, mainly history. (Simply because I only had two hours and didn't get to the fiction section).

I have to work tomorrow (16 hrs, ugh) but I'll go back on Sunday. I guess I'll be building more bookshelves on Monday.

It's such a luxury having a big pile of books!
My favourite perk (actually, the only, apart from working at home) as a freelancer, is that I can order review copies from the publishers. :D

You have to work 16 hours in one day?

I spent all my birthday money on books this past summer. Makes me realize just how expensive books can be!

Library sales rock. Especially a college library if you have one nearby -- those are worth finding out about and making a special trip.

Your library thanks you for your support. For anyone in AZ, or traveling to AZ in early Feb, the largest used book sale in the world is held here in Phoenix. In 2008 they estimated they had over 600,000 books, magazines, DVDs, etc. The money raised goes to several charity programs. The 2009 sale is Feb 14 and 15. The most books I ever bought was 37.

50 books? Wow... *mouth hangs open for a moment or two*

I've never bought that many in one go... not that I never wanted to, mind ;)

Good luck with the bookshelves then!
