On my way to the Fort Mason Friends of the Library Book Sale, I stopped and got my FREE coffee from Starbucks. To celebrate Earth Day, free coffee and tea was given to those who brought their own reusable mug... sweet!I made my way to the book sale and arrived when they opened at 10am. I was stoked to see I pretty much had the cooking section to myself.
I spent about 2 hours looking through this beautiful mess of books before Brian joined me after his French class. We then spent another 2 hours looking through the rest of the tables (they give you a map and a shopping cart when you enter the building... seriously intense book scavenging!!).We then made our way over for our free Blue Bottle Coffee (with a book purchase) and enjoyed a freshly brewed cup of joe and some treats from the case (we needed a major pick-me-up at that point). We then met some friends for gelato in North Beach (not sure I have actually had any REAL food today) then made our way home. Here is the loot that I scored today:
I think I am most stoked about my first edition of The Journal of Gastronomy with a forward by Julia Child and an article from M.F.K. Fisher.
I also got (for $1) Tara Road (Maeve Binchy) and The Silver Chair (C.S. Lewis) on audio CD, as well as a gift for my nephew's birthday, A Box (set) of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket... should be fun reading for a 7 year old! Brian devoured the European History section and found some really great books as well... not as good as mine, though ;)
