With just a week left until opening night, we thought we would give you a taste of what’s to come \u00a0– to whet your appetites and work your imagination!
\n\"\"<\/a>YES! We have records<\/strong>! If you love hunting through vinyl come look through what we’ve got in the stacks!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Perhaps you have an empty wall in your house that could use a splash of colour, or your dorm room could use a statement piece that stands out against all those One Directions posters! Come search through our stacks of vintage posters<\/strong>, sure to inspire your home decor!

But what about the books<\/strong> you say? Well, we have many, many, MANY books – too many to even give a proper cross-section. Here are a few titles to give you an idea of the different categories you can discover at the sale!<\/p>\n

For those who love a good classic mystery<\/strong>:
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

For those who like to read about travelling<\/strong> the world:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

For those who have a little one at home, champing at the bit for new children’s stories<\/strong>:
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Or perhaps they would like new games<\/strong> to play:
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

For those who prefer books en Francais<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And yes, we even have an option for those who prefer not to read at all with books on tape (or CD!):<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

As if this wasn’t enough to get you amped and excited we have something very special this year, in honour of our 25th Anniversary. One of our long-time volunteers, Phil Weber, has created a beautiful Stereoscope<\/strong>, complete with Stereoscope cards of photographs he has captured! When one peers through the wooden Stereoscope with leather detailing, the image on the card appears 3-Dimensional. MAGIC!<\/strong>
\n\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>The stereoscope and a special collection of cards will be available this year only, for $250. A wonderful gift, it is a great addition to one’s home library or office. Make sure to stop by and check it out in person!<\/p>\n

We know, we know – it doesn’t seem fair to get you this riled up, while you still have a whole week to wait until opening night. But stay tuned – next week we will offer some great advice about the big day!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nThe Victoria College Book Sale runs from Thursday September 22nd to Monday September 26th. Opening night begins at 4pm, with $4 entry fee, and free entry for students with ID. All proceeds, as always, go to Victoria University Library.\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
