I just finished returning the last load of books from my book sale on Sunday, June 24th to one of my storerooms. Took 55 boxes of books and 5 1/2 boxes of CD's to this sale. Am happy with how I did this time although it was the lowest total of this year. Sold a few of the new CD's from the collection of 350 that I just acquired, had probably 40 from this batch. I will have many more from this selection of CD's at my next sale which will probably be in August, Sunday the 26th. There will be a lot of blues music at the next sale. In July, my wife Carlie and I will be at an Art Festival in Salem, Oregon selling our mixed metal jewels on the day of the Caspar Breakfast and so can't do the book sale. This sale just completed was made simpler because there was no event at the Caspar Community Center on the Saturday before so I was able to set up the tables and put out books the day before making it a whole lot easier to be ready Sunday morning. Unfortunately this won't be the case in August because there is an event taking up the entire building that will go into Saturday night. If I want to do my book sale I will have to get up at something like 4 in the morning in order to be ready by 9am on Sunday. I've done this before but it's not my favorite activity. If my energy level is good and I feel OK I'll do it and plan to at this point.
Am in Cotati at the moment with my grandkids and will harvest books tomorrow on my way back to the coast at thrift stores in Santa Rosa and Cloverdale. Email me if you have books or CD's that need new homes. Jima@mcn.org
