There are a number of factory outlet strip-malls along the I5 between the Canada/US border and San Fransisco.

We stopped at one in Anderson, CA on the way back. I picked up 13 computer books at the Book Warehouse there. 10 of them were $1 each, and 3 of them were $12, $8, and $4 respectively.

Then at the Peace Arches outlet 2 miles from the border, I got two more computer books for $1, and the Monty Python Encyclopedia for $8 (regularly $22).

The day before we left I got a new bookcase for my office. It was empty when I left. I guess I must have felt sorry for it. :-)
