As title says, was on way home when we seen all these cars and a sign saying Book Sale.

Books were 50p each!!!

They had some really really new books, some completely unread ones and old ones. All the proceeds were going to a charity for Indian children.
I was in there for about an hour. Dragged Dp and Ds round.
In the end I walked out with about £20 worth of books for me, DS got a few Beatrix Potter books. DP got some programming books, hes not a reader.

It was brill.

I'm not jealous, no, not at all, not me

Wow...I'd be green with envy if I didn't have bags and bags of books from the last 2 car boots I went to. 3 or 4 books for a pound and all like new. Problem is now getting to read the blighters!!!

Hope you have more luck than me

'The Little Friend' is not good I'm afraid. 'Tis Charming Man' is quite good though - I have just finished it and it dod surprise me in places. Marion Keyes is not bad for chick-lit.

Great selection, you got an absolute bargain there. I read The Point of Rescue recently and it was quite good. Feel really bad at having you list them all .
