Book Sale

This past weekend we went to a book sale. We arrived late, about 10am and the place was packed. My wife insisted that it was a mistake, junior was uncomfortable with the close quarters that we were forced to contend with. Thousands of people and thousands of books, it was the Literacy book sale. None of us were prepared for what we found or the crowds. We did manage to find a few books; I scored, being able to purchase books from authors that I had never read before for only fifty cents.

The hardest part was not being able to recall authors that we wanted to look for as well as missing out on a few we knew of because we arrived too late and they had been picked over. We will know next year.

I want to record all the books we have in our home. To be honest it is a large project. I’ve found a computer program that I can purchase to help me catalog all our books, but being the thrifty guy that I am I want to find some freeware that does the same thing.
