Books, books, and more books. This year's annual York Expo Center Book Nook Sale was outstanding. We literally stood outside for an hour before they opened. We thought we could beat the crowd, we did not do too bad, but there were plenty of 'die hards' who were already lined up and ready to go. Hey, more power to them, I'm not bitter, I choose to be better. Anyway...
I got lots of Oliver Greene books for 25 cents a piece, some were 50 cents, but I won't complain. I also got a book by Walter Wilson (with his signature in it, WOW!), Jay Adams, Howard Vos, JC Penny, Mortimer Adler, J Sidlow Baxter, and Theodore Epp. There were only two tables designated "Religion" and swarms of people swiftly picking up books as if they were going out of style. There were even some boxes of books for sale underneath the tables that we rummaged through. I did get 'shooed' by an oriental woman under the table because I was snooping in her box...LOL! she was under the table calculating her books when I accidentally started to rummage through her choosen books (I could have had a Renald Showers book - errr!). Opps, my bad.
I must have gone up and down at least five times in each table to ensure that I was not missing out on anything. All in all it was a book-hunting adventureous afternoon!

Aw, looks like I missed out on the good stuff! If I ever see a book sale with some "Christian books" in it, they would all be first editions of the Porpoise Drivel Life...
what a shame. ;-)
