I *heart* library book sales
I popped by our little library--two blocks down the street from us--to dig through their book sale.
I found an unusual CD that I used to have (it had been broken in a friend's car accident). This is by far the coolest choral CD I've ever owned.
I found a book for my dissertation.
I found a DVD of Handel's Water Music, with recreations of authentic Baroque dances (thrilling the music appreciation teacher inside of me).
I found a couple of Christmas presents.
I found a cookbook on herbs and spices, with historical introductions to each spice, and recipes following.
I found a couple of homeschooling families--one mother who was keeping her eye out for books for her daughter. Another mother brought in her several kids, talking with them as she prepared to let them loose, like hounds on the scent of their quarry. It brought back memories from many years ago of my own somewhat eccentric education, the curriculum formed from a pastiche of materials--oftentimes stumbled on at library book sales and the like. I confess that I came out wanting to have kids so that I can educate them through library book sales.
Now back to the dissertation...
