Important Book Sale Information

The tables are set up, the books, CDs, and DVDs are arrayed, and George Mason Friends are making the final preparations for opening the doors to you tomorrow at 3pm!  Before you come, please review the following useful information:

Parking 

  • Park only in marked parking spaces. If you park along Evergreen Lane, you're likely to get a ticket. Please use the nearby shopping centers for overflow parking.

 

Book Sale Hours

Thursday, October 1 — 3 pm to 9 pm
Friday, October 2  — 10 am to 6 pm
Saturday, October 3 — 10 am to 5 pm
Sunday, October 4 — noon to 5 pm
  • The book sale ends each day promptly at the announced closing time.  
  • Please be in line to pay for credit card purchases at least 15 minutes before the end of the sale day, since the library wireless network (which we use to process payments) shuts down promptly at closing.  We may announce an earlier deadline for getting into the credit card purchase line if the checkout line is lengthy.

 

Payment

  • We accept cash, check, or credit/debit cards.  
  • Credit and debit card purchases may not be available at all cashier stations

Book Sale Policies

  • All sales are final and as is. 
    • We haven't viewed the DVDs, nor listened to the recorded books or CDs. 
    • Be sure to check all cases before purchase. When we placed the items on the sale table, all CDs and DVDs were in their containers.
  • Bins and boxes and piles: 
    • No large bins or wheeled bins of any size going down the sale aisles or stored at the end of the aisles. 
    • You may carry one copier paper box or banker's box with you in the sales area.
    • We will have designated areas for you to leave your boxes, marked with your name, while you continue to shop. 
    • At busy times, we may limit how long you may leave your boxes or containers and how many containers you may store in the designated areas.

  • No  strollers or solid-frame backpack child carriers are permitted in the sales area; they must be left in a designated area. 
  • Wheel chairs are always welcome.

 

Finding Areas of Interest

  • Maps and volunteers are available to help you find what you're interested in. 
  • While many locations are the same from year to year, some categories have been moved. 
  • Some overflow boxes are under the tables. 
  • We no longer sell VHS tapes.

Score a Bargain on Musical Scores and Pulp Fiction

Two late-breaking collections of interest have come to light as we unpack for the sale:

Scads of Scores

From operas to concertos, they are a bargain at $4 and $5 each. Due to space constraints, they may be in boxes below the Performing Arts tables.

Pure Pulp, Pardner

From the golden age of pulp fiction, get your fix of six-gun desperados and devious dames. Westerns, crime, war -- just $1 each in Collectibles.

Fall Sale Preview: An Encyclopedia for the Ages

At the Fall 2015 book sale, we will offer the complete Encyclopedia Brittanica 12th Edition -- which consists of the renowned 11th Edition, published in 1910, and the 3-volume supplement to update the set through 1922.

Although today most households have given up on the once-essential family encyclopedia, The Encyclopedia Brittanica, 11th Edition remains a treasured reference work among book lovers and historians.

2015 Fall Sale Preview: complete Encyclopedia Brittanica 12th Edition, $200.
Click photo to enlarge.
The 11th Edition publishers dramatically changed their approach to creating this "sum of human knowledge," as they advertised it. Earlier editions were written by one or two authors and consisted of dense, academic, and not particularly useful text. By contrast, the 11th Edition was extensively rewritten with an emphasis on readability, with hundreds of scholars and journalists contributing 40,000 articles.

Final 11th Edition vols plus the 1922 12th Edition supplement.
 Click photo to enlarge.
Beyond being exceptionally well-written, the 11th Edition fascinates many readers because it is among the last works that presume to comprehensively catalog and elucidate the entire sphere of human knowledge. As such, it presents a panoramic, Edwardian view of world at the close of the age of reason, before (as Hans Koning wrote) that era's optimism and confidence  were lost in World War I's mindless destruction.


 Note that the 12th Edition set we offer includes the entire 11th Edition plus the supplement, published in 1922, which includes summaries of the events leading up to, during, and after the Great War. It will become available for $200 at the start of the fall sale, October 1.

Book Sale Proceeds Fund a Feast of Flowers



The flower beds surrounding George Mason Library are in full bloom! These black-eyed susans, coneflowers and daylilies not only beautify the  library borders but also provide important food sources for local pollinators, butterflies, and birds.

The  GM Friends fund these beds with book sale proceeds, and dedicated volunteers keep the beds healthy and lush. If you have some gardening experience and would like to contribute a little time to tending the beds, too, please contact Mandy Neet, Volunteer Coordinator, at Amanda.neet@fairfaxcounty.gov or call 703-813-6606.
Coneflowers are a favorite food source for bumblebees.
Later, watch for goldfinches, who will perch on the spent flowers to eat the seeds.
