Love Books? Don't Miss This Sale

More than 120,000 items are for sale, from books to records to DVDs, at the Friends of the C. H. Booth Library book sale in Newtown.

If you're a fan of literature, if your bookshelves are buckling under the weight of all the reading material, if you buy books before food, then the Booth Library book sale in Newtown is the sale for you.

I'm not sure I need to say more than "120,000-plus books, records, CDs and DVDs for sale," but then I figure you might want to know the details of the book sale, so here's all you need to know.
