The FOL will have what they call their Kris Kringle sale Friday & Saturday, from 9-5.
They say they will have more books out, and not just what was left over from the sale back in September.
After this will be, I hope, the 1/2 price sale in February.

Got a problem with givng a used book for xmas? I don't think you ought to. A lot of the books being sold are almost undistinguishable from brand new, and so many good books are not to be found new at the bookseller's.
Not that it always works out. I remember that to a young man headed to military college I gave as a graduation present a pristine copy of Eisenhower's "At Ease: Stories I Tell to Friends." Ended up getting it back, probably unread.
And to a rather repressed young lady on her HS graduation I gave a copy of Lyn Hill's "Climbing Free." No idea if it got read. But that's how it goes. We tend to give books that we think somebody else would like, and often as not the gift goes unread. How it is with all gifts really, not only books.
