This year at the Putnam Penguin Publishers book sale, I got 53 books for 97$, that makes each book about a $1.83 each. That is an amazing deal and steal. My mom also bought me two Taste Of Home cookbooks for 6$.
This year was a little different for me, I went on the first day of the sale, Saturday. My mom, sister, and I got there about 2, and waited in line for about 2 hours. I know that sounds ridiculous, but it was well worth the wait. Once we were in the warehouse, my mom got boxes and picked a spot, and my sister and I went out shopping. It was great, and the deals were awesome. Many books were between the $1 and $4 range, and some were in the $6 and up range. All my books were $4 or less, which is amazing. Waiting in line to pay was long as well, but they pack your books back into your bag or boxes, and since we had 4 boxes and one bag, they took our boxes out to our car for us. It was a great day with beautiful weather, and awesome book sales.
Here are some pictures of the line to get into the sale, I was a little busy once inside to take any more pics. The line to get into the sale wrapped all the way around this parking lot, and into the street. Many people brought luggage, roller carts. backpacks, and other big bags to carry their books.

Now I'm ready to get reading my books, I am so excited for some new material to read. So if you aren't busy this week, take the time and stop down at the book sale. It's not as busy during the week, and it's well worth it. For dates, times, and directions check out my post, "Best Book Sale!!!"
