Freaks Geeks and Us...



...We don't know where we fit in but twice a year we brave the crowds at the Seattle Public Library Book Sale. Hardcovers are a dollar and paperback are fifty cents. It's quite the event, some people are buying for their online shops, then there are the teachers buying for their classrooms, then there are people like Ben and Mandy who just like digging through mountains of stuff to find a few treasures. Mandy's mom and sister Carrie joined us this year, they couldn't believe the crowds and the old airplane hangar (where the sale is located) that was filled with tables and tables of books.
We left the sale with about fifty books! Ben was excited to leave with all of the books that the Jason Bourne movies were based on. (Bourne Identity, Supremacy, and Ultimatum) Mandy was excited to get lots of kid favorites to share with the little squirts she nanny's for.

That place is huge! Are there any books left in the library? Why were they liquidating materials? Did they loose all their funding in a last ditch effort to build the monorail?
