As of January 29, 2012: The Ugly Truth
I haven't had time to keep the list of book sales and stores current for a long time.
I hope to publish an edition of the 2012 SaleList before the end of February.
In the meantime, the 2008 version of the SaleList can give you hints about who might be having a sale --
but you'll have to call the library or look online to see if the sale is happening this year.
Click on the Word or PDF button (to the left) to see what's available.
The Friends segment of this website is being kept more current.
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 sites for bookworms. (For sites I've already learned about, see page ii of the SaleList, "Sites of Interest".)
I'd particularly like to find a source for a good list of books written by Pittsburghers or about Pittsburgh.
Do you have foreign VHS tapes you want to watch?
There are two formats for VHS tapes, one we use and one most of the rest of the world uses. (This has nothing to do with Beta tapes.)
I have two SONY VCR's that will work with either format.
I will give them to you.
I got them used in a large lot of VCR's I bought on Craigslist from a woman who had worked for a company that was in the business of copying VCR tapes. Most of the "normal" VCR's in that lot worked fine so the odds are that these two also work. No cables came with the machines, but Radio Shack does sell a connector you will need in order to plug a coaxial cable to the back of these VCR's -- then all the rest of the connections are just like what you're used to. I wasn't willing to buy the special connector just to test the VCR's since I only have American-format tapes, and I didn't need these VCR's for myself.
Click on the address at my photo, above, to email me.
I will give you the VCR's at the Squirrel Hill Library... a few doors down from the Radio Shack in the 5800 block of Forbes Avenue.
