(Six books for $9)
Of course the old print publishing industry is beginning to show signs of collapse, just as is happening with newspapers and magazines. And electronic readers are improving so rapidly that it will not be long until many of us begin to relinquish our romance with our bookshelves.
But, for now, those of us who relish the ideas and thinking that great books contain still respond to an opportunity to sift through thousands of titles of a curated collection. That's what I did today, courtesy of the Friends of the SF Public Library's "Mission Book Sale."
If you're in the Bay Area, you could add it to your list of outings tomorrow, between 10-4. Here's the address:
John O’Connell High School
2355 Folsom Street
At 20th between Harrison and Folsom
Odds are, I'll be there again myself...
