Wie geht's?
One of the 26 highlights that didn't quite make the cut for my top ten (even though Iron John was mentioned) was a trip to a mall in Santa Rosa. It contained a huge secondhand bookstore with all proceeds going to the local library.
There were some great finds, and some super helpful staff, all volunteers. I mentioned to one lady that I was looking for some books about Harry Truman and she produced a whole pile. I grabbed two, plus 4 other books that were on my list (novels by Iris Murdoch and Penelope Fitzgerald among them) and took them to the counter to pay.
The guy added the number of books I had in my pile (there were six), and said, "Six dollars please". I'm sure my mouth fell open!
"Six??"
"Yes, sir - all our books are a dollar each".
Wow! What a great deal. The Truman book at the bottom of the pile is super big and super heavy but when I started reading it, I was hooked, so it had to come home with me.
