I have friends who are stocking up on food and honing their survival skills in case of a financial meltdown. Instead of wondering what I would eat in such a case, I wonder how my children would get an education without a stockpile of books. You know, in case the libraries have to shut down. That's normal, right? Anyway, financial meltdown or not, I like having the best books at our fingertips.
But, with all good things there is a limit, and I had decided that we had enough books. My bargain book hunting obsession had to be curbed. We had reached the book saturation point.
Despite my intentions, on a cold Saturday morning I found myself in a half-mile long line at 7:00 waiting for the doors to open on our areas best annual used book sale. I only had a half hour to shop after the doors opened at 8 because my son had his last basketball of the season at 9:00 wwwaaayyy across town.
So much for resolve.
Here's what I find in just half an hour for $20.

That's one broken resolution I can feel good about.
