As of June 2, 2008: I have phoned most of the libraries in the county and have a work copy of the library book sales by date and the ongoing library sales; I'm going to put Word and PDF copies of it here today. Note especially the new entry for JUNE 8 for the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh's Summer Reading Extravaganza. It's this coming Sunday -- it's a huge fair with a big booth for used books. I will update the "regular" SaleList as soon as I can; it has new posters and new fillers as well as updates to other areas, and a better copy of the stuff I'm posting today. The 2008 browse copy is still not ready. I wonder how many people miss it. Any feedback on the subject would be welcome. Used book sales in Western Pennsylvania are growing so fast that it’s hard to keep track of them all. Since early 2001, I’ve been compiling and disseminating a guide to Used Book Sales and Stores in and around Allegheny County (see About the SaleList). On April 27, 2005 this website was created to make it easier to share that SaleList. Here you can: download the SaleList in either a Microsoft Word or a .pdf (Portable Document Format) version so you can read it on your own computer or print a copy to carry around. If you have an old copy of the list and just want to update parts of it, you can choose to download small files of Revisions. browse the SaleList here and do a quick lookup of your favorite library or book store. get answers to Frequently Asked Questions such as "What can I do with my old magazines?" and "Can you sell me the book I am looking for?". Please read the FAQs page before you ask me a question via e-mail, because if your question is answered there I'll just be e-mailing the FAQ to you. I have removed the pages intended for "Pittsburgh Exchange", a place to share ads and thoughts related to books, reading, recycling, sharing. Much of its purpose is already well served by www.craigslist.com and www.freecycle.com. Both permit free ads and have established themselves as strong sites. I'd like to learn about any other Pittsburgh sites of interest to bookworms. I'd particularly like to find a source for a good list of books written by Pittsburghers or about Pittsburgh.   The SaleList depends on you. Please contact me with changes, additions, comments, or criticism of either the website or the SaleList. Margie Spenser 412-521-4129 margie@pittsburghusedbooks.com to the top last revised: 06/02/08
