Books I purchased yesterday at The Big Book Sale

     You still have time to shop the Charleston Friends of the Library Big Book Sale.  The sale is held this weekend at the Omar Shrine Temple, 176 Patriots Point Rd. in Mt. Pleasant, just a bit over the Ravenel Bridge, off of Coleman Blvd.  You can shop today from 9am to 5pm and tomorrow from 10am to 3pm.
     The books are arranged by catagory and not alphabetically by author, happily forcing you to peruse all of the titles in each section.  As you enter the Temple event space, cookbooks, art, biographies, history, reference, hobbies and classic literature are to the right.  Mystery is straight ahead and fiction, sci-fi, children's and young adult books are to the left.  
     My dear bibliophiles, if you shop the sale this weekend, be prepared to choose and buy many books as you will be tempted by both a huge and varied selection and low prices.  Adult hardcovers are priced at $3.00, paperbacks at $1.00, with children's books priced between 50 cents and a dollar.  Some books are priced as marked, so be sure to check inside the front covers for special pricing.
     If you are unable to shop the CFOL sale this weekend, do not despair.  There will be another used book sale December 5-7 at the Main Charleston County Library on Calhoun St.  Of course, you could always shop both...
