On books and sales

After constantly hearing about the Green Valley Book Fair from coworkers, advertisements and bloggers, we finally made the trip to GVBF on Saturday.

Like my brother in a fancy hotel, I was like a kid in a candy store with all these highly-discounted books. In the end, I personally got more than $100 of books for less than $15. Now that's shopping!

Now it's Monday, and I've almost finished one of the books. My wife also got some books, but here's my take:

Flatbush Odyssey : A Journey Through the Heart of Brooklyn

Bamboozled at the Revolution: How Big Media Lost Billions in the Battle for the Internet

The Elements of Editing [I actually got an older paperback edition.]

So Others Might Live: A History of New York's Bravest--The FDNY from 1700 to the Present

Strong of Heart : Life and Death in the Fire Department of New York
