I just found out that there's this cute little flea- market- books- only event being held just down my street so this day suddenly went from uneventful to uneventful with books! :)
I go looking for yard sales and garage sales with my dad on the weekend sometimes and you can almost always find people selling their books off for 50 cents to a dollar each. It's really cool seeing what everyone has.
Oh i fucking love flea markets. I buy so much crap from those places. Like you know, those old razor knives that you used to shave with. and bowls. So many bowls.
That sounds really cool. Our local library system does a huge sale of the old books twice a year, its really fun and the whole community gets involved.
@all or most of you: So, I spent some serious money on those books. But I don't mind. Mostly Croatian authors that most of you never heard about. Like Jergović and such. Also, if you catch a copy of any of his books in a language you understand, read it. That dude has some skills. And I bought this lovely copy of The Decameron really cheap. Nothing beats the smell of old books. :)
Haha, try to find something good :P
ReplyDeleteMarkets like these are very cosy and interesting ;3 You can find really great things.
ReplyDeleteHope you find something worth the read.
ReplyDeletethat was a awesome finding indeed =D
ReplyDeleteHere's the hope it's a semi regular thing not a one off.
ReplyDeleteNice! :D There is a place near me that sells books for £1 each, I go there a lot. Always nice to find a cheap gem!
ReplyDeleteOooo that must be nice.

ReplyDelete@all or most of you:
ReplyDeleteSo, I spent some serious money on those books. But I don't mind.
Mostly Croatian authors that most of you never heard about. Like Jergović and such. Also, if you catch a copy of any of his books in a language you understand, read it. That dude has some skills.
And I bought this lovely copy of The Decameron really cheap.
