Oh my goodness: Thou shalt not covet; thou shalt not covet...can I come book sale shopping with you when we come to Canada for our niece's wedding in 2010??
Hi Jeanne--sure thing, but what part of Canada?
Wonderful finds! Congratulations!
We must have just missed each other! I was VERY close to purchasing the Charlotte Yonge book and the Kingfisher book by Rumer Godden - debated over both of these but decided that, shelf-wise, I could barely fit the Churchill's A History of the English Speaking Peoples volumes + a Marco Polo book that I couldn't put down. LOVE the book sale.
