I have more books!
Jul. 29th, 2007 07:29 pmAnd "oy!" rightly describes any normal person's reaction to the number of books I brought home from the Newberry Library Book Fair. Thirty-six, plus two duplicates (one of which I've already found a home for) and one book for one of my sisters. Most were a buck or two, though there were a couple that set me back $5-6, and one actually hit double digits. I could barely get the haul back to my car (most of them were hardcovers!). But I did, and got them home and all are now catalogued over at LibraryThing.
On the way to the sale, I passed the old Lyric Opera warehouse, which is being converted to loft condominiums. Now, I take this same route to work everyday, and it's always looked pretty normal. But today, out on one of the balconies being put in, I saw this:
When I went back to take the picture, there was a guy working security who approached me and asked if he could help me. We got talking, and he told me the horse & rider were left over after everything had been moved from the warehouse. The developers cleaned it up and put it out on the balcony to create interest. They certainly aroused my interest, though, as I told the guy when he suggested I go to the open house, I'm not in the market for a loft. And I'm sure these will not be cheap.
