Buying books by the bag (continued)

As it turned out, Australian Book Centre is a distributor of remainders.

When I arrived there at five past nine (ie 5 minutes after opening time), a few dozen bargain hunters were already there in action.

I used a big carton box to store the books I intended to buy, and then paid for "$10 bag"s to put them in.

In total, I bought 23 books costing A$30 (ie they were stuffed into 3 bags). It was like a treasure hunting exercise and was quite fun.

Here's the list of books:

Martin Amis, Other People
Tom Bridge, Essential Cookery Pasta
A. S. Byatt, Little Black Book of Stories
Serge Dansereau, Food & Friends - A chef's Gastronomic journey through France & Italy
