Tips for making the most of the sale
With thousands of books and big crowds, a little planning can make your visit even better. Here are some helpful tips:
1. Plan your list
With so many books available, it’s easy to get overwhelmed. Make a list of the genres or authors you’re interested in before you arrive, so you can go straight to those sections first.
2. Bring your own tote bag
While there may be bags available on-site, it’s a good idea to bring a large, sturdy tote bag for your books. This not only makes it easier to carry them but also cuts down on waste.
3. Arrive early
The sale can get busy, especially during weekends. Arriving when doors open at 10am can give you first dibs on popular titles and help you avoid the heaviest crowds.
4. Stay hydrated
Browsing for hours can get tiring, so bring a water bottle and maybe a small snack to stay energised. There are cafes and food stalls nearby if you need a break, but it’s always good to be prepared.
5. Engage with the staff
The staff know their stuff and can point you to specific books or offer recommendations. Don’t be shy and ask away! They’re there to make your book hunt easier.
