Well, I did a bit of damage today, but not too bad. Five books. Of course, if the Loyola Museum of Art will sell exhibition catalogues for a buck, what can you expect?

I managed to get through there with only spending $3.00 ... and that was over at Jones Prep's parking lot sale! Got one nice still-shrinkwrapped art book, and two issues of POETRY, plus some purple sunglasses from the Cars.com booth.

Frankly going to the Dollar Store the day before Lit Fest (and picking up some lovely $1 hardcover books) is a good way to not too swept up in the Lit Fest, as suddenly $8 for a used book doesn't look like such a deal!

 

I ended up doing a blog post from Lit Fest ... http://www.chicagonow.com/green-tech-chicago/2013/06/an-upcycle-for-old-books/

&Nbsp;

Too much going on this weekend to hit the Fest. Maybe next year . . .

We had a great time there on Sunday, and met up with other LTers. I ended up with 16 books, 9 from a mystery series I like.
