Another huge vintage book haul!


I source every week for my used bookstore Hyla Brook Books. Regardless of feeling like I've already taken enough, I went and got more books because winter is coming. I dont have a car. I dont have a job. I'm not on government assistance. I only have what Ibe made from my shop all year, which is only enough for another month. The money I was saving for a car. 

Praying. That's why I feel like it's okay to take all the books I can carry back and forth. There was still rows of books.
