The fall Friends of the Durham Library
book sale is this weekend at the Main Library downtown. There are
several copies of Marx's Capital and the Communist
Manifesto this time, in the expanded and now more prominent
philosophy section. In the special price section there is a nice $6
set containing the Chinese (English language) editions of classic
Marxist-Leninist texts such as the Manifesto, Lenin's
Imperialism, and Stalin's Foundations of Leninism.
Someone helpfully wrote “Workers of the world unite!” on the
price tag. I almost bought it myself, but I already have most or all
of the books in one printing or another. They are also online and
some are being reprinted by Red Star Publishers. Unfortunately there
is not a separate Russian/Soviet history section this time. There is
also a wide selection of books in other subjects, as well as music
and videos, and even a Whitewings paper airplane kit. Books are only
50 cents for paperbacks and a dollar for hardcovers and large
paperbacks. The sale is 10-4 Saturday and the bag sale ($7 for a
grocery bag of books) Sunday is 2-5. The branch sales going on all
year at other libraries are separate and do not include
decommissioned library books and seem to sell novels mainly. The
spring 2013 sale will be the weekend of April 12th.
