Carrie
informed us that there would be a trip to the Pequot Library Summer Book Sale
in Southport, CT, which is considered the best book sale in New England, and
offers high quality books at reasonable prices. As a result, everyone is
waiting for it, Summer and Amanda even changed their schedule to New York for the book sale
on July 27.

When
we arrived at the Pequot Library, it’s approximately 1:30pm. Since there are
only 2 hours left to explore, I gave up the idea to observe the fabulous villas
of those wealthy Americans. The Summer Book Sale composed of two parts, inside
the library and in a large spacious tent outside. Carrie told me classic and literature
works were sold inside, so I went directly to the tent because I was in search
of books about teaching methodology. It does not exaggerate to say there are
mountains of books and CDs, DVDs, even some old-fashioned gramophone records,
which are piled according to different subject categories.

Compared with its
original price, the used books were pretty cheaper. Frankly speaking, the time
is only enough for me to find needed books in two categories, one is education,
and another is books for children. At last I bought 6 books with only
$6dollars. How amazing it is! I hope to buy more, but the books are too heavy
and we plan to go west and have a trip. I’m afraid that there are no spaces for
more books in my luggages.

Why
there is no such book sale in China? It’s a great pity.
Perhaps you could begin them by organizing the first one at your university? All those books were donated by people who had finished with them.
