Look, Look! Lotsa Books!!/ Ruby Tuesday

Willow Books, Port Perry

OK, I admit this is not the most beautiful sign in the world. BUT the words are - as the saying goes - like music to my ears. Imagine! Books at 50% off!

Did I go in? What do you think?...

One of many book-filled corners

Did I purchase anything? Hmmm, are rubies gems?

Can you come help me carry the bags?

Oh I wish I had been there, EG! Great sign: "_OOKS" Ha! Happy Ruby Tuesday!

Leora said...

I think you are mistaken. The sign says "OOKS". I believe you took pictures of Ooks. :-)

Catherine said...

It has a particular Red attraction for you? I would love it too.
Books? May be Cooks, Hooks, Spooks

Ralph said...

I like old book stores. Being there with $20, I would have a blast. An attention getting sign, you just had to stop! Who wouldn't?

Jan said...

Fun Ruby Tuesday post. I would have been right with you. I hope they're not going out of business.

I just bought a slew of books through Amazon.com but through private individuals selling used books there. I love books too.

Gosh, who in their right mind could resist that?! Oh my...:o)

Oh I so love books and when they are a bargain it's such a bonus! Enjoy your reading...

Mojo said...

Do you read the blog "Ook She Wrote"?

Okay, I'll stop. You've no doubt heard all the ooky humor you care to, eh?

Do they ever do library sales up there? Here the public library will sell off surplus books at ridiculously low prices -- I'm talking about 50 cents for hardcover editions ridiculous -- once a year (or maybe it's every other year, I can't recall). You can walk out of there with a grocery bag full of them for sofa cushion money. It's great!

Mojo,
My public library has TWO used book sales a year. ;-) (April and October)

Small City Scenes said...

I love books---we'd have to carry each other out if I was there. I could stay all day in a book store. But I wondered whar 'ooks' were. LOL MB

Carletta said...

I'll help you carry your bags out if you come back and help me carry mine!
Looks like a terrific place.
Does the sale mean they are getting more books and need more room? Hmmmm....

marcia@joyismygoal said...

I would have been lost in there for 2-3 hours and very happily so

Mary said...

Ooo, nothing better than a sale at the bookstore!

EG CameraGirl said...

Jan & Carletta,

The salesperson was taking in MORE used books while I was there. It's not going out of business. ;-)

judi/Gmj said...

Wow!! Ahh just ship it all to my address, send the bill to the playboy mansion cod. :)

At 50%, I'll be in that shop for quite a while!! Who would be able to resist?? :P

Happy Ruby Tuesday!!

Dora said...

The yellow sign here looks more appealing! U should have asked for a truck to transport the books. Ha ha!

Raven said...

Half price books! Always a good thing. Hope they had a good selection too.

MyMaracas said...

Books on sale! What a happy find! I'm all excited just looking at the photo. LOL

Hi EG, I just popped back to answer your comment - Yes, I grow all the roses I post. That's why I decided on a "week of roses".

Becky said...

Wow, 50% off. How lucky can you get?
I'd need a U-Haul!LOL.
Happy RT. EG.

I LOVE book stores!!

and sales

great scenes for RT

Robin said...

Oh how I love half-price Ooks!

Maria's Space said...

Ahhh....I couldn't agree with u more. I love signs like this. There used to be a book store down the NJ shore I used to go to called the Bent Book. They had so many books at next to nothing which is probably why they are no longer there. Hard to make a buck when you are charging nothing for a book.

antigoni said...

That's my husband's heaven. He likes reading A LOT. I really enjoyed your post of My world. I want some snow....snif, snif!

soulbrush said...

oooh perfect, i too love books, the look of them, the smell of them, the feel of them....

Izzy, Emmy 'N Alexander said...

Looks like heaven!! I love 'ooks!

Darla said...

I'll bet those shelves look a bit bare after your visit :-)

What I love is library sales! Our whole family has a thing for books. We cannot pass up a sale.

Anonymous said...

LOL! I just recently missed a sale like that and could have kicked myself. I forgot to buy a gift that was $80.00 and missed the half off by one day. Urrrggghhh! I'm glad you didn't miss this one. :-D

DrowseyMonkey-Photos said...

I agree! I love book stores, and ook stores ;) Especially when there's a sale! Yes!

Felisol said...

Wish I were there.

Jientje said...

You had a sign!!! I forgot all about it!!
I enjoyed the rest of your pictures on your blog, and now I know where East Gwillimbury is located!! Great place you live in!

Kerri Farley said...

Oh wow....looks like my kind of place!!

PERBS said...

If I go to a book sale, I ahve to go with a limited amount of money or I might spend the rent money on books! lol

Quiet Paths said...

I got a real kick out of this post. I can relate to the book fever but then I don't like those small musty shops.... no air.

Patti said...

Great sign and half-price most welcomed, right?

Happy Belated Ruby Tuesday!
