Book Sale

An annual event to look forward to in Wellington is the Downtown Ministry's Book Sale at the Queens Wharf Event Centre. (Now called the TSB Bank Arena.)

Over the years I have picked up some bargains from the sale, and today is no exception. I managed to find:
  • The Second Volume of the 'Yes, Prime Minister' Books. (I bought Volume 1 at the same sale two years ago.)
  • A couple of Tom Clancy novels I haven't read.
  • A book with lots of good information about Budapest
  • A couple of childrens books
The total cost? Just $12 for eight books.

If you head along tomorrow to the sale, prices are halved - but the selection is limited as people grab the better books on the Saturday.

  • There's a couple of Tom Clancey's books you haven't read - Op Centre?

  • I went off his books after "Rainbow Six" (or Rainbow Sux). But at $2 each for "Red Rabbit" and "The Bear and the Dragon" I thought it was worth getting.

    I haven't read any of his co-authored books, which I presume are actually his plot outline and the other person doing all the donkey rest.

  • Rainbow Six was OK, but it was too much like his OP Centre books.

    Red Rabbit is pretty good, but I haven't read The Bear and the Dragon yet.
