.....in the great British public!
Today we did a "Table Top" sale at the local church hall. Primarily to try & get rid of some of our stuff we've accumulated over the years including many (sob!) books. I was sure people would want to buy some, most of them were in excellent condition. There were some Booker prize winners in there, plus some Clive Barker books (hardback) in mint condition and a couple of classics as well.
Well, do you know we did not sell a single one! Oh, they came in their droves to buy keyrings, ornaments, garden lanterns, a dog bed and even some tatty old football programmes. We made the princely sum of £13 for a couple of freezing cold hours in the church hall, did our bit for the community but still left with a car boot full of, well, mainly books!!
I hope the local charity shop fares a little better, 'cos that's where they destined.....as for the great British public today, well they will never know what hours of delight they have missed!

ReplyDeleteOh, I could never pass by the chance to buy a book! I would have loved to grab one of those classics. You have a lovely blog. I dropped by after visiting Amanda. Good luck at the local charity shop sale. I hope that more readers show up :)
