If you love books and you don't want to drop a lot of cash, you've got to make it to this sale! Basically it's a warehouse with scores of tables overflowing with used books (in great condition) priced from $1 - $5 each (most are $1 or $2) They have every type of book you could possibly want divided into sections: fiction & nonfiction in every genre you can think of.
This is a huge event that only happens once a year, so the lines are crazy, but it's totally worth it!
This was my fourth year, so here are a few tips:
Get there super early (we usually get there around 6 am; doors open at 8). It's better to get there early than have to wait in line because they only let so many people in at a time - you don't want to have to bake in the sun and miss out on the best titles.
Bring a camping chair and some coffee for the wait. Around 7:30, just send someone back to the car to put your chairs and snacks away.
Parking is $8, so you should carpool to save a few bucks. That makes waiting in line much more fun anyway.
Bring a backpack or cloth bags to tote your books around in.
Also, bring cash! They do accept credit cards and AZ checks, but there is almost never a line at the cash only checkouts.
If you're looking for even better deals, go on Sunday - everything is half off!
See you there next year!
