Thanks for posting this, Barry. I'm a member of this Church and the first year we did this book sale, we hoped to make between $300-$500 and we made $3,000!!! It's now our biggest fund raiser, even bigger than the Pumpkin Festival! It's a great way to get rid of all those books and tapes you are tired of lugging around. What makes it work is our volunteers: they organize the books by type (novel, cookbook, children's, etc.) so that when you want to browse, you can go right to the section you are interested in.
