and one other little book I'm sending to someone here as a gift so I won't mention it by name.

So that's 50 books (7 of them audiobooks) for $65. Not fantastic, but not too bad. I'm planning to go by tomorrow for anything I might have missed. And then on Saturday during their big Fill-a-bag sale. There was a huge Hockey Treasury for $10 that looked good but not *that* good ;-)
