More Used Book Sales, August 2011

I have to thank Michael Black for this wealth of book sale information. He tacked it onto the Cummings Centre sale as a comment, but it deserves a post all its own. Thank Michael:

 

Given that St. Viateur will be closed on Saturday July 30th or the stores to have a sidewalk sale and various non-commercial events can take place, I’d expect Welch’s to have tables out full of $1.00 books. It’s like a feeding frenzy each time they bring out a new box of books to restock. I’ve never figured out why they have the books, I’ve found lots of things that they wouldn’t normally carry, yet the $1.00 books are not bookstore rejects.

From August 10 to 13th, the South Shore University Women’s Club has their annual used book sale, I think it’s the 37th edition so it’s almost as old as the McGill Book Fair. I’m not typing in the hours, but it’s at St. Barnabas Church, 95 Lorne in St, Lambert.

The Atwater Library is having a lawn book sale and BBQ on Wednesday August 17th from 10am to 3pm, outside the library at 1200 Atwater.

For the past two or three years, the Dorval Scouts have had a used book sale towards the end of August, no news yet on that one.

For years, the Thomas More Institute had a used book sale in late August or early September, but they dropped it a year or two agao, so I’m not hopeful that it will be back.

Then soon after the fall cluster of used book sales begins.

Of course, towards the end of August, the McGill students that didn’t leave in the spring will be moving, leaving a smaller smorgasbord of moving garbage. Not as significant as in the spring, one can still find interesting things.
Usually lots of furniture, but last August I found a couple of computers (that are getting rarer, as people increasingly do take old electronic junk to a recycling place).
