PRINCETON, NJ Stores and Shopping Guide Announcement
Friends of the Princeton Public Library’s Annual Used Book Sale October 21 – October 23, 2011
Hosted by the Friends of the Princeton Public Library, this year’s sale, like last year’s, has so many volumes that it will be overflow from the Library’s Community Room into a large tent on Hinds Plaza. We have an extraordinary collection of high-quality donated books for adults and children, as well as many volumes of interest to collectors. This year we are featuring a collection donated by Economics Nobel Laureate Daniel Kahneman composed primarily of signed books in the fields of Economics and Psychology. We also have excellent collections of history and politics, beautiful and plentiful art and architecture books, and nice selections in the decorative arts and foreign languages. Our mystery and science fiction/fantasy collections are extensive this year, with lots of vintage and first-edition volumes in each category. Our selection of literary fiction, including a number of first editions and some signed volumes, is excellent this year as well. Vintage children's books will also be highlighted for 2011. Additionally, we have a wide variety of books for collectors, including a number of rare and unusual volumes. This year's sale will also include audiovisual materials - DVDs, CDs, audio books on CD and LPs. Prices are bargain-basement low; most volumes are $1-$3, with Art books and special selections running higher.
