It only happens once a year: That’s right, it’s the annual — and awesome — book sale at Park Slope’s United Methodist Church this weekend, where you will find thousands of terrific books in every imaginable category.
You can’t beat the prices: Same low prices as last year: pocket-sized paperbacks for 50 cents, trade & quality paperbacks for $1.50, hardcovers for $2.00. Buy ten, get one free!
It’s Park Slopee so there’s gotta be something for the kids, right? You betcha. Check out the Children’s Room where you’ll find books for all ages as well as videos, games, puzzles & more Also: DVDs — $4 CDs — $3 Videos — $1 Records — 50 cents
Does the early bird get the worm? Not necessarily: To avoid the Saturday morning “early crowd”, organizers suggest that you consider coming later in the day. They’ll be puttingbooks out all day long — so in this instance, the early bird does not necessarily get the worm!
And what about all those books I’ve been desperate to get rid of? They’ll be accepting donations on Thursday evening (7pm to 10pm) and Friday (10am to 9pm).
For details: visit their website at www.parkslopeumc.org. The church is on 6th Avenue at 8th Street in Park Slope, Brooklyn. Directions & more information at www.parkslopeumc.org.
Give me that info one more time:

Thanks, Louise! We sorted books all day on Monday and I have to say, there is going to be some really great stuff this year. I already have a small pile of treasures for myself, though I swore I wouldn’t bring more books into my apartment! But who can resist?
Hope to see you all at the sale!
