I had the good fortune of being in NYC today to witness the Veteran's Day Parade down Fifth Ave. I must say- it was inspirational seeing the lines of service men and women march down the street while hearing "God Bless the USA" by a high school choir. (Hits close to home on a number of levels.)
After a few minutes of enjoying the parade- my mother and I made our way through the crowded streets and happened upon a goldmine of books. I had completely forgotten about this used bookstore in midtown! They had a deal today- in their clearance section (all books $1!!) 5 for $3!! I stocked up. It also proved to be a holding ground for undiscovered treasures. I have been part of many Professional Developments including ones based in my district, Teachers College development, etc. I have heard MANY titles and purchased TONS. However, there were some that I had never heard of that were unbelievable! Here is my score:
The most expensive hardcover was $8.50. Seriously- very creative mentor texts, clever craft moves, and touching stories.
The store had used movies, video games, and adult books as well. Here is the info about the place:

Do you have used bookstores near you?
Wiped after a fun-filled day in the city! Hope you enjoyed the long weekend!
