I just got back from the Geelong West Rotary Book Fair which is on today, tomorrow and Sunday.

I bought 2 bags of books for $31. Prices were $2 for HC, $1 for SC and 50 cents for children's books.

Entry by gold coin donation.

There books of all genres, fiction and non- fiction, cds, DVDs, magazines.

It wasn't very crowded but I went at 2pm so I don't what it was like this morning. I guess it might be busier tomorrow.
