David, Tristan and I spent all day at the Vromans/Book Soup tent sale in Pasadena today. Above are the books that I bought (David already squirreled his away.) I added up the cover price of my books and they were all on sale and then 75% off the sticker on the front. I got over $600 in books for $55. Not bad, huh? The sad thing is, I saw many, many favorite books and titles I had purchased in the past. Books that no one was buying and some of them are among my most favorites. I did buy a couple of duplicates to gift to some friends who I know will appreciate them. The good news is, I scored big time! Here's what I got: Arabic Tattoos As I said above, I bought some to give as gifts. I bought some to cut up. Several have been on my wish list for some time now. Sometime soon I will be clearing out my bookshelves again to make space for these titles. I already have a little "to sell" pile started. I'll give a heads up when I'm ready! The hardest thing now is trying to figure out which one to read first! |

Hooray for Vroman's/Book Soup, for independent booksellers and real books that we can hold or cut up or alter or do whatever we want. Another great-sounding day. Way to score.
Glad you had such a great shopping day at Vroman's. Too far from Redondo Beach.
Sounds like a lot of new books. Never heard of this store. Why was everything so cheap??? Yes, I would rather have a real book than an ebook to read. Call me old school!
Aloha, Kate
Now that is what I call a stash!
Kate, I'm the same way. I want a paper book in my hands!!
The store always has a bargain section but the sale was amazing. It was stock from two stores. Everything was marked down and then 75% off on top of that.
Score indeed! I haven't even heard of most of those, but your photo and list makes me want them all! Love 75% off!
