Attention, bibliophiles!

The news from the nice man behind the counter at Waldenbooks (where I finally reserved my copy of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince) is that they've just opened a bargain store at the other end of the Francis Scott Key Mall in Frederick. Down by the Italian Oven restaurant, Books on the Mall is a warehouse surplus store that will be selling all books for 99 cents, "at least through the end of July." AND! They are currently participating in the Waldenbooks, "Buy 4 books, get the 5th free," sale.

I didn't get a chance to stop by, as the mall was closing when I popped in. But FIVE BOOKS FOR $4.16 (with 5% sales tax)!! How can you resist?
