Special to the Jewish News
S
ome people stock up on cook-
books. Others search for new
bedtime reading selections for
their kids. Still others hope to
fill forlorn shelves in their homes.
Whatever their reasons, thousands
will leaf through the 100,000 books
for sale at the annual Brandeis
University Used Book Sale, scheduled
for Aug. 5-12 at Tel-Twelve Mall,
Telegraph and 12 Mile, in Southfield.
It is the second largest used book sale
in the country, surpassed only by
another Brandeis sale on Chicago's
North Shore.
The book sale is a major fund-raiser
for the libraries of the Waltham,
Massachusetts, Jewish university. Last
year, according to committee member
Shirlee Sachs of Bingham Farms, the
event netted more than $25,000 from
sales of more than 75,000 donated
books.
The Brandeis University Ladies
Auxiliary began the book sale over 35
years ago with a few tables set up on
Livernois Avenue, then known as
Detroit's Avenue of Fashion. The sale
then moved for a number of years to a
tent in the parking lot of Southfield's
Northland Shopping Center. About
15 years ago, the sale relocated to its
present location, where it attracts
thousands of bargain book hunters
each year.
RAMCO, which owns and operates
the mall, is "very cooperative with us," (j-\
Sachs said.
Although all the books have been
processed by only 20 volunteers who
work throughout the year at the
Brandeis Book Depot in Oak Park,
more than 400 volunteers help with
the book sale itself. More than 12,000
names of shoppers are on the mailing
list for the sale.
Admission to the sale is free, except
for opening night on Wednesday.
From 9:30 p.m. to midnight, book
lovers will pay $5 to get first crack at
the treasured tomes, which include
first folios and other rare finds. "Some
people come and literally sweep the
