GIANT USED BOOK SALE

VALUABLE, IN-DEMAND TITLES

FAR BELOW DEALER PRICES

FIRST-COME, FIRST-SERVED

This sale is for members only. It includes a broad range of books from our own library and donations from Merle Burston, Harry Lumsden, Donna McMaster, Barrie Porteous and Kirk Zufelt.

While there is still a good selection of books available after our last two meetings, it is no longer feasible to compile an up-to-date book list and reserve books either for pick-up or shipping. Thank you, everyone, for your support in this project.

Watch for news of another book sale in September.

IN-PERSON SHOPPING

In addition to the used books, 1 new copy of The Crevice Garden by Kenton Seth & Paul Spriggs will be available for $32. (Amazon price is $45)

Each month we will be setting out books from specific categories for the in-person shoppers.

In April, the categories will be
  • Flora of other countries
  • Flora of the Rocky Mountains and Western United States
  • There will also be a clearance sale of all the books which remain unsold.

Once you have paid, you must pick up your order by April 16. Any books not picked up by that date will be returned to our sale and NO REFUND will be given to you.
