the Penguin Warehouse Sale
Expo Hall 6
3rd- 6th Dec
10am- 9.30pm
be there!
i love Penguin books. the papers they use smell nice. i love smelling books. i also love going to warehouse sales because it's when you get un-cracked spines, smooth pages, & cheap books. cheap being $5 to $10 for hardcovers. how beautiful is that! i also love how there is very little eye contact between people. every eye, peeled onto books, titles, names, searching, searching. a sea of faceless faces, acknowledging only through the bodily presence of the other, caught at the corners of eyes. our bodies gyrate against the tables likes waves to the shore, to and fro, to and fro. pendulums. rhythmic. collect and deposit. awe. lust. picturesque covers. 1st editions. un-cracked spines. swoon.
ahh, book people. book people are beautiful people. yeah!
