Rare books and author-signed titles deserve a second glance at the 10th annual used book sale hosted by the Lawrence Family Jewish Community Center (LFJCC), 1426 Executive Drive. The main event is June 9 to 11 from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. each day and again on June 13 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Jacobs Family Campus. “The book sale is a great opportunity for people to be exposed to books they might never find elsewhere,” said Dan Shapiro, director of marketing for the LFJCC. The highlight this year is the silent auction, boasting rare books such as “Book of Exodus with Megillath Esther,” published in 1868, and A. J. Cronin’s “The Stars Look Down,” which has an appraised value of $500. The silent auction began June 1 and runs through the close of the sale June 13 at 4 p.m. Appraisers were at LFJCC earlier to value the books and list opening bids. ‘We have really fine books this year,” said Susan Hagler, program associate at LFJCC. The event offers more books than in past years. “It’s all based on what people choose to donate to us,” said Heidi Farkash, chairwoman of the event. Shoppers can peruse a variety of book categories including art, folklore, cookbooks, children’s books, mysteries, fiction and foreign languages. Books for the sale have been donated by individuals and from several estates. Not all of the books are Jewish in theme, Farkash pointed out. “There’s every subject under the sun,” she said. One of the more challenging aspects of the event is pricing the books. “Almost 6,000 books are no more than $2,” Farkash said. In addition, about 300 titles will have special pricing from $7 to $50. The popular early bird shopping event takes place on Wednesday, June 9 from 9 a.m. to noon and is open to anyone who would like to pay $10 for the special opportunity to peruse the titles before the event begins. The sale is otherwise free and open to the public. For more information, visit www.lfjcc.org.
