Used Book Finds
This lovely stack is the pile of used books I found during our long weekend in the mountains. They come from a variety of places: some from the free shelf of the tiny library three minutes down the road from the cabin, some from a Goodwill, and the biggest portion from another library's used book sale. We showed up at that one twenty minutes before closing time - which was perfect because the books had been reduced to $3.00 a bag!
* Great Stories Remembered - audio tape by Focus on the Family
* Farm Journal Christmas Idea Book (1956-1972) by Editors of Farm Journal
* The Trees of Christmas by Edna Metcalfe
* Potpourri Crafts: More Than 100 Fragrant Recipes & Projects for Every Room in Your House by Dawn Cusick
* Gifts & Crafts From the Garden by Maggie Oster
* Age of Opportunity: A Biblical Guide to Parenting Teens by Paul David Tripp (I already own this but when I find inexpensive copies of excellent books, I buy them to pass along to others.)
* Forever Christmas: Tasha Tudor by Harry Davis (Again, I own this one but when I come across a book by, or about, Tasha Tudor I snatch it up as they're few and far between!)
* The Case of the Beautiful Beggar by Erle Stanley Gardner (one of the old books that the Perry Mason series was based on)
* The Pursuit of Man by A. W. Tozer
* Messiah Prophecies Fulfilled by D. James Kennedy
* Hymns of the Christian Life
* Crafting with Potpourri and Other Things of Fragrance by Patricia Zunic
* Mozart's Brain and the Fighter Pilot: Unleashing Your Brain's Potential by Richard Restak, MD
* First We Have Coffee by Margaret Jensen
* I Capture the Castle by Dodie Smith
* God's Smuggler by Brother Andrew (have this one, too - read it aloud to the boys several years ago - EXCELLENT!)
* Maria by Maria Von Trapp
* The Map That Changed the World by Simon Winchester
* A Basket of Herbs - Volumes 3 & 4 and 7 & 8 (Apparently the publication Herb Quarterly used to put all their articles into booklet form. This is one of my favorite finds!)

Some excellent finds! Happy reading!
Thanks, Vicki - I anticipate many happy hours with my finds!
I see you found God's Smuggler...I really like that book! ;)
Love all the Farm Journal cookbooks... Tasha! How lucky... If you've never read First We Have Coffee, you are going to love the family... lots of herbally/potpourrially (ha) inspiration for your garden prep... and did you hear this past week that the last of the Von Trapp children died? I think Leisel... and be sure to show and tell us more about A Basket of Herbs.
Don't you love a new high stack of book finds?!? Thanks for sharing... You always lead me into good book searches.
Lori,
Actually, when I snatched up Tasha's Forever Christmas I thought of you. Since our reading styles are so similar I just assumed you love her stuff too! Do you have this one?
no, I don't have this one... I have several-- I love the kitchen garden book also...
