“The buying of more books than one can read is nothing less than the soul reaching towards infinity.” —A. Edward Newton
About two weeks ago, I read from a friend’s Facebook post that she was going to the One Dollar Bookstore because she needed more books. Then it hit me. How could I have almost forgotten the One Dollar Bookstore by the Chula Vista Shopping Center?! I’ve only been there once, and the visit has been months ago. Needless to say, I found myself there a week later—allowing myself to drown in books once again. These are my current loot. Twenty-six books. On sale for only a dollar each. =)
Looking at the books I currently have, I seriously need a new bookshelf. And Mikey could not agree more. I have nothing else to say to myself except, well, good luck. =)
This is way better than Green Apple. You got a good thing going here, girl. I should have gone with you when I had the chance. Or you should have kidnapped me at that same instant you found the bookstore! Hahahhaa. How I wish we could pass through San Diego on our way back and hopefully this time around the GPS would be kind and find the bookstore.
It’s by sheer luck I found these books. I really had to go through each book in each shelf. I’m sure I missed a few more, but I can go back some other time. Or maybe next time I get paid. For now, I think I’m good. I think I got the good stuff they have. I rarely ever go to thrift stores so I appreciate any nice book I could get my hands on.
That’s precisely what I like the best. The sifting through the dirt to find the gold. I can spend hours just going over Books for Less (BFL) back in the Philippines. They basically have the same thing. I recall buying Stinky Cheese Man from BFL for roughly around 80 pesos then. That’s a little more than a dollar.
