Available for purchase, all at great prices by the bag, will be a large selection of gently used, like-new books in many different genres, including bestsellers, biographies, cookbooks, craft & hobby, history, mystery, self-help, and children’s books. There also will be DVDs, CDs, audio books, and more. All proceeds go to support Palmdale City Library events and programs.
“This by the bag book sale provides bags in three sizes for a cost of $8, $4, or $2,” said Diana Love, Friends of the Palmdale City Library Board President. “Each bag purchased can then be filled with as many books/items that will fit into the bag.”

My book is available in all e-reader formats, and pretty much everywhere that sells paper also reps some sort of e-format, notably at a much lower price. And yet paper sales are hive-six times what e-book sales are.
Maybe real books WILL be obsolete in the not too distant future, but they definitely aren’t yet.
