My church has a used book sale every year. Members will donate books,
and items will be gleaned from the Friends of the Library book sale. I
have gotten some gems from these sales, including a couple Time-Life
Foods of the World volumes and a 1943 edition of Joy of Cooking. I
usually volunteer at these sales on Saturday mornings so I can case the
joint and set aside goodies before the used book dealers descend.
