Yes, there were some great book deals. They have a large awning set up
with boxes upon boxes of books for 50% off. You just have to rummage
through and find what you want. It is a great chance to pick up books that
you can't justify paying full price for but you still find interesting.
I did the rally so I got there later than usual- a little after nine.
Nonetheless, I picked up four new books at 50% off- The Austin-Healy Buyers
Guide, The Essential Jaguar XK, Vintage Racing Cars, and The New England
MGT Register's book on Restoring T Series MG's. There were other MG books
of interest but, unfortunately, I either own them or felt that they were
lower on the list. I was tempted by a copy of Original MG T and a couple
of MG history books that I don't have but were fairly redundant to those
already in my library (read that on a shelf in the basement). They also
had every book on sale for 15% off. If I hadn't already blown my budget on
bargain books, I would have picked up David Knowles' MG, the Untold Story
but, unfortunately, I didn't realise that it had made it to this side of
the pond already. Oh well, there is always Christmass!
