Book Fairs, Library Sales - Dates & Times

Good thinking girls! I was thinking about your shot at stardom over the W/E Kelly.

I picked the flyer for the Yarragaon Book Sale up at the Inverloch market yestersday from a book stall. They had a fantastic range of books that I really wanted to buy so I could brag big time - here's a short list of what was on offer, with there asking prices:

Ion Idriess:
Back to Cairns
Prospecting for Gold x 2
Stone Destiny
Forty Fathoms Deep
Gold Dust and Ashes x2
Over the Range
Greatest Stories Vol 1 & 2

Nearly a full Set of Trixie Belden

Readers Digest of Birds

Alot of HC Enid Blyton

and so much more that I can't remember!! I was nearly salavating!!!!!!

But they were a dealer so their prices were HUGE, and they knew which books were worth more. The 32+ numbers of Trixie were $20+ the lower numbers were about $7
Ion's were pretty much over $50, the 1st edition or HC with DJ were $80+
The Readers Digest was $50

So my excitement soon died ๐Ÿ˜ž definately NOT market prices!

Then I thought, hmmmmmmm, wonder how pricey the Charity Sale would be if they would be there!!

Well done Dave.

I did a Google for the Yarragon Book Fair on the weekend & found the info Neva has posted, but before it was posted :P. What I find strange is that she found the flyer in South Gipps while the Latrobe Valley paper etc never have anything about it. And we are a lot closer to Yarragon & the local hospital's cancer unit is one of the beneficiaries. The hospital is the only place that has info about it here, but unless you need to be there you don't get to see any flyers.

Kelly, what's the Glen Waverley Rotary book sale like? I have too many books lying around at the moment but I could always add to them...

Mike, I went last year, very late on the Saturday and it was very expensive. They wanted $2 for a teen horse book. I don;t think I'll bother.
