I bought, by my kitchen scale (well, it's really a "bathroom" scale as it weighs people, but we keep it in the kitchen; keeping it in the bathroom just seems to make one want to shower less) 27 POUNDS of books. And I only spent $45, and got my dad's birthday present!
1. The Ultimate Quilting and Patchwork Companion.
2. Cars of 1965.
3. Roadside Americana.
4. Corvette by Andrew Montgomery.
5. Imagined Corners: Exploring the World's First Atlas
6. The Atlas of Legendary Places.
7. North Shore Boston: Houses of Essex County 1865-1930.
8. Sensuous Magic: A Guide to S/M for Adventurous Couples. (this one's for Raven)
9. Cordelia's Honor by Bujold (the only fiction book on the list)
10. Knitting Without Tears by Elizabeth Zimmerman, which actually made me LOL in the store. I shall post a couple of quotes and a review, I'm sure.
All but the last three were on the $1 table. Yay the dollar table! 2-4 are intended for my dad for his birthday, as he's rebuilt and restored more than one classic car, including a 1967 Porsche 911, and an early 70's Corvette, which he used to drive me and my mother around in, with me perched on the console between the seats, which was a perfect height for a child not in a carseat.
No, we didn't do carseats in those days, and we liked it! (except for the kids who were killed in car crashes.) It just wasn't any big deal back then. Gas was cheaper, too.
