Used Book-O-Rama!

[electricland]

The Westmount Library was having a book sale so I dropped in on my way over to the gym... $13 later, I came out with:

• A Comedian Dies, by Simon Brett


• The Crown of Dalemark, by Diana Wynne Jones (I only have the first book in the quartet and this is the fourth, but I expect I'll pick things up)


• Midwinter, by Maeve Henry (never heard of it, but looks cool)


• In the Mother's Land, by Elisabeth Vonarburg


• Three plays by Christopher Fry: A Phoenix Too Frequent; Thor, With Angels; and The Lady's Not for Burning (bringing my total number of copies of the last to three)


• Olympiad, by Tom Holt


• The Songcatcher, by Sharyn McCrumb


• and The Urban Peasant: Quick & Simple, which I will probably use about as often as any of my other cookbooks, but one lives in hope.

Hee. Books. And I made it to the gym and the grocery store and bought flowers and cleaning supplies and picked up my dry cleaning and I'm probably going to the movies with Esther tonight, so a not entirely unproductive day after an unpromising start.

Okay, well you can give one to me then. I don't have any copies of The Lady's Not For Burning. *sob*

Well, I am currently holding one copy hostage, so she really can only have a maximum of 2 in her possession. . . .

But you can see my point, right? I mean, obviously, she's got more than her fair share of copies of The Lady's Not For Burning--no doubt contributing to the absolute dearth of used copies of TLNFB elsewhere. Really, this book hoarding must be stopped!

I see your point. HOWEVER. I have benefited from her hoarding. AND. she is in Montreal, so how, exactly, does this affect the Toronto bookstores?
