Maybe they still do these fairs. I’d save my allowance for months in anticipation of the book fair. The books would be all stacked on tables, by subject, I guess. You’d wander around with your pencil and order form to write down what you wanted after you’d read the back covers. I think you’d then take your order form and money to the front desk where workers would fill the order. It was absolute heaven for me. I only remember two books I ordered though; The Blind Connemara and Justin Morgan Had a Horse.
And the Bookmobile! Hundreds of books in a bus traveling around…..I couldn’t get over it.
