Okay, so it’s more like $1 Friday, but the point of this post is CHEAP BOOKS, and for a literary nerd like me, this is a steal of a deal.
Books Beyond Borders, a local bookstore with the charitable aim of building schools from used book sales (and whom I’d tragically never heard of prior to this week), is going out of business and looking to sell off their literary stock ASAP. Hit them up this weekend, starting Friday the 25th, to snap up over 100,000 books for only $1 each. Holy cannolis!
In addition to their vast riches of the book variety, they’re also selling LPs (also at $1 each) plus laptops, compys and various warehouse equipment they need to get rid of. They’re also looking for scads of volunteers, so you may be able to finagle some free stuff if you donate your time to the cause.
To volunteer, email tab@booksbeyondborders.com. To buy books, head out early (the sale starts at 9 AM today [Friday]) to Books Beyond Borders at 618 C Tillery Street. Happy hunting!

The Book Hoarder in me is kicking itself for not living in Texas… (but the better part of me is happy she doesn’t…)
This is both amazing, and amazingly sad. Bookstore closings are sad – it’s like watching a beautiful animal slowly go extinct. Independent Bookstores, and more so, charitable bookstores play such an important role in the communities they serve. Go buy a book at an independent bookstore already!
Thanks for the mention! We will be open all day saturday and Sunday for shoppers, so come on out and help us go out with style. 618 C Tillerty St, austin tx 78702. near the corner of east 5th and Tillery st.
thanks!
