Review of BookSaleFinder.com: For the Compulsive Book Buyer in Us All

Can you pass by a sign that reads “book sale” without stopping? Or are you, like me, an inveterate book sale browser? No matter where I go, if there are books being sold I inevitably wind up there. There are a lot of clothes at Ross for Less, but I don’t spend much time looking for new shirts or pants; instead I head straight back for the book section. It’s not big, but I can usually find a great deal back there.

Here in Pensacola, the public library has a sale twice a year. One of them is so big that it used to be held downtown at the same site where bands like KISS and Foghat gave concerts. The past few years it was held at the fairgrounds. When I say it was a BIG sale, I mean it. I love the big public library book sale; this year I walked away with five cardboard boxes overflowing with volumes for about $65.00. That’s only because I couldn’t get there this year for the special end of sale mad rush where you get about ten minutes to fill up as many boxes as you want for a preset price of less than five bucks a box.

If you are the type of person who understands the particular thrill of coming across a book sale like that, then do I have a web site for you. The name of the web site is as simple as it the very idea. Booksalefinder.com. Yes, just follow that link and you will be presented with plethora of book sales all over the country. The web site presents you with a map and when you click on a state you are then taken to a list of cities featuring ongoing or upcoming book sales. And when the book sale is really big it lets you know.
