This weekend (12th, 13th, 14th) is the end of the line for Marvin
Stanley's Bookstore in Oakdale.

FInal prices: ALL hardbacks = $.50  All paperbacks = $.25 or less.

Since people seem to be afraid to take a drive to Oakdale, there's a lot
of good stuff left, from 18th and 19th century books (originally $5 - $30)
to lots of 1900 - 1940's mysteries, fiction, sci-fi, etc. Plus lots of
cookbooks, children's books, california and US history, biographies,
humor, true crime, Modern Library editions of the classic you (and I)
never read), lots of Mark Twain, Dickens, and other majors (shelves of 
each), etc. Lots of bizarre books and magazines from the 40's and 50's.
And a huge collection of 78 Records. 

I know him and like him and he just doesn't want to move them all to his
home, would rather sell them at even that low price than just give them
away to boys' clubs and churches.

It's easy to get to -- an hour from Berkeley/Oakland, little longer from
SF:

580 East puts you on to 205 at Tracy
205 East puts you onto 120 around Manteca.
You come to a light (after Escalon, at the turn to Oakdale)
That's River Road -- look to your right -- you'll see a shopping center
with a huge sign that says in big red letters: BOOKS

That's the place -- 7450 River Road

From San Jose/Sunnyvale -- get onto 680 to 580 East and then the same.

Bring shopping bags if you think of it.

Lots of hard-to-find books, as well as recent best-sellers

If you like books and rummaging through boxes and shelves -- this is a
fine time to spend an afternoon.

Also -- best roadside stands in N. Cal along 120 between Manteca and
Oakdale.

Have fun.
