Man, what a great day! Every few months, there’s a “book fair” about 2 hours away from me. I went there a few years ago and got some great rare classics, so I thought I’d give it another try. I am so glad I did!

I bought over $300 worth of books for $80!!! Even if I’d bought those books with my discount at work, they would have cost over $210... subtract the $30 dollars I spent on gas and I STILL saved $100!!! Woohoo!


Here’s what I got:

The Door Within Trilogy by Wayne Thomas Batson (never even heard of it really, but it sounded kind of interesting, was recommended by another author I like, and was a local writer...)

Great Moments in Architecture by David Macaulay

The Elements of Editing

Dickens by Peter Ackroyd (a $45.00 hardback for $1.99!!!!!!!!!!!)

Illustrated Dracula (very cool artwork with this edition)

Gulliver’s Travels

Heavy Words Lightly Thrown by Chris Roberts (fun little book about the true meaning behind nursery rhymes and such)

Autobiography of Santa Claus by Jeff Guinn

Illustrated Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland (the cutest artwork, great kid’s book)

Boo Who by Rene Gutteridge (the 2nd book in a Christian series - I enjoyed the first one)

T.H. White’s The Sword in the Stone, Illustrated (again, REALLY nice artwork)

The Novelist by Angela Hunt (Christian novel; someone recommended the author to me)

Tolkien: A Biography by Michael White

Illustrated Shane by Jack Schaefer

Tale of Peter Rabbit

Tale of Benjamin Bunny

Tale of Flopsy Bunnies
