The Bookworm has just finished a massive round of spring (well, technically late summer) cleaning and is holding a booksale to get rid of tons of library-clearance books. So grab your reusable bookbag and head on over to pick through the piles of books in search of hidden literary gems.
Whether you're looking for a rare edition of your favorite classic lit novel or a trashy page-turner to hold you over for the rest of the summer, browse the piles at this sale for long enough and you'll probably find something to your liking. With books on countless subjects and in a wide array of languages, there will be something for everyone. As long as you get there early, that is—no doubt the cream of the crop will go quickly! Just make sure you call ahead if it looks like the weather's not going to cooperate—since the booksale is going to be held on the roof, inclement weather might lead to a postponement.
