Ever wanted to delve further into the history of our society, or perhaps learn more about a certain culture? Our\u00a0Anthropology, Sociology and Native Studies<\/strong>\u00a0section boasts books on \u00a0ancient civilizations all the way to present-day cultural behaviours of our species.<\/p>\n

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

Do you have a secret fondness for reading about the intricate and dramatic lives of some of Hollywood’s stars? Or perhaps you want to be inspired by the words of one of the world’s prominent political leaders? Our\u00a0Biography<\/strong>\u00a0section, as well as our\u00a0Essay and Memoirs<\/strong>\u00a0section includes works written by many of this century’s most important figures in the fields of Art, Science, Politics, and more.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It’s hard to find a good variety of interesting books in a language that isn’t English. But have no fear – our\u00a0Foreign Language<\/strong>\u00a0section will give you lots of opportunities to practice your other favourite languages. And this year we have lots of options for you folks hoping to brush up on your Portuguese!<\/p>\n

And if that isn’t enough to get the wheels turning on possible purchases, keep in mind there are more than just books at the book sale – CDs, Vinyl, Sheet Music<\/strong>, and \u00a0Ephemera<\/strong> get music fans and collectors alike scrambling amidst the boxes.<\/p>\n

A reminder to students: if your wallet is feeling especially light from all your recent textbook purchases, check out the book sale for some of your course material before buying everything brand new. We often receive donations from other students who have taken courses at Victoria College. You would be surprised at the amount of money you can save with a little hunting – and for you, opening night is free with ID<\/strong>!<\/p>\n
