Just as an FYI -- on the first Saturday of each month, the American Library in Paris (on Avenue de General Camou, just off of Avenue de Bourdonnais (sorry, the first name was a typo!), between Quai Branly and Ecole Militaire) has a book sale (Today was their first day!) selling off extras and old books, all for the benefit of the library, a non-profit entity.

Books are 1 or 2 euros, and there's a wide range of topics available -- mostly in English, but a few in French. There are also some magazines, videos, and other miscellaneous items available. Titles are on offer for kids and adults.

We loaded up a big bag of books for all of us...and we'll look forward to going next month, too!

When we moved in August we brought them ten boxes of books... they were completely thrilled, as was I. A real win-win situation.

Happy reading!

Thank you for the info, Sunshine - might see you there!

holger: I am not switching so if the rest of you leave, it will be farewell. Makes no sense to create a new site instead of just posting here. have enough work related list servs and blogs to read and respond to. Certainly don't need ano Feb 24, 2015 16:47:51 GMT -5

holger: It really does seem as if the site is moribund. Too bad and as I no longer have emails for anyone on my computer just want to wish you all well. I do check periodically but mostly now go to slow travel and the France forum there. Apr 22, 2015 7:54:32 GMT -5
