Hundreds of jigsaw puzzles are hardly what you would expect at a book sale, but they will be just one of the unusual items featured at the Save The Children Summer Sale at UWA. The popularity of jigsaw puzzles soared during COVID lockdowns and has continued. Now, puzzles, completed and subsequently donated by enthusiasts, keep flying out the door at successive Save The Children Book Sales.
Yet there are lots of other quirky items at the sale too. This year an expanded section of old, interesting and rare books will be featured. So too will a range of ephemera – items like rare old programs, postcards and much more that will appeal to collectors and lovers of the unusual. As well, there is a range of sheet music (piano and vocal), DVDs and CDs of the sorts of movies and music you once missed or would just love to be able to experience again.
But the main reason people come to the Save The Children Summer Book Sale at UWA is for the extensive range of donated books of such good quality. This year a selection of Folio books will feature as well as the usual Summer Sale categories: modern and classical fiction, lots of children’s books, and non-fiction categories, including food, gardening, languages, art, biology and environment, biography, history, politics, comics, militaria, and mind, body, spirit – all at very low prices.
The Save The Children Summer Book Sale is on Saturday 15 February from 9 am to 4 pm, and Sunday 16 February, 9 am to 2 pm, at Hackett Café at UWA, Stirling Highway, Crawley.
Donations of good quality books can be made at the charity’s Claremont Book Depot on the corner of Goldsworthy and Agett Roads in Claremont. Volunteers staff the Depot from Monday to Friday 8 am to noon and Sundays from 2 pm to 4 pm.
