Library sale loot. We need a word for the particular kind of joy you feel when you pay next-to-nothing for books you could have read for free before.
10 books for 80 kr. (€10.71). In a country where your average book costs about 250 kr. or €35.
2 CDs for 5 kr. (67 cents)
I love the fact that the librarians provide shopping baskets.

2. Bad photo from library sale last week at Dokk1 Aarhus Main Library Denmark. Hard to take while avoiding photographing people - an odd angle, showing some of the nearest tables with jumbled piles of books. A briefly empty blue shopping basket on the floor.
