In this episode, we mine the book sale for hidden treasures!  Join us this weekend, June 4th 2022, at the Richfield Library for the Friends of the Library Book Sale.

Christina shares books that have collected meaningful ephemera before she found them, including Uses of Enchantment, and The Folded Clock by Heidi Julavits, Less by Andrew Sean Greer, The Intuitionist, and Colossus of New York by Colson Whitehead. And she shares the comedically iconic time capsule that is Absolut Book by Richard W Lewis.

Jen discusses some tiny gems she's found over the years, including the Legendary Unicorn, and an assortment of Little Little Golden Books. She also shares what she's learned from retro masterworks like the New Joys of Jello, and Entertaining Is Fun! By Dorothy Draper.

And Kat waxes poetic about the strong female protagonists she's met in boxes of donations, like Prosecco-soaked detective Auntie Poldi, and the eco-feminist explorer in The Word For Woman Is Wilderness by Abi Andrews, published by Two Dollar Radio Publishing (based in Columbus, OH!) Plus, we discuss the promotional value of an honest review, like the Guardian's review of Andrew's Wilderness by Sarah Moss.
