I love books, but I’m not the type who would go loco over book sales
and patiently take time to find titles in those piles of unsorted books.
I am learning foreign language at the moment, and need some
reference materials. I know buying those books could cause and arm and a leg,
so I actually included it in my Christmas wish list. :P
And then I saw this sale by the National bookstore, and thought I’d
try my luck.
I went over few shelves scanning the titles, hoping to chance upon some references for my language study. Nothing here. I moved on to the ones on the tables where people keep tossing and
turning the unpiled books. Skim, skim, skim. Nothing again.
I was ready to give up, as I was thinking “isn’t there something for
me here?!’ As I turned to leave, my eyes caught a glimpse of that little book
with a red spine. I couldn’t believe my eyes as I read the title, ‘Chambers
French Verbs’ it’s as if it was there waiting for me!
I quickly glance over some shelves and found some similar books. I raided the place and found several language materials, other fun readable books, and imagine, I just
spent about $10. It was my lucky day!
Now, I think my perception of book sales has changed. You’ll
definitely find something; you just have to be patient on your quest to find it.
