Thanks for the explanation. I wondered if a sale might be the issue. In Dunedin (Zild) there is an annual institution called the "Regent 24 Book Sale". It was originally set up to provide funding for the conversion of a movie theatre which had been a live theatre originally back to its original purpose. That was ?15 years ago. Now, they donate the proceeds to all sorts of charities. Like yours, there are usually between .5 million and 1 million books on sale. There's food and entertainment as well. As the name suggests, it is held over 24 hours, and in that time they can get up to 100,000 people coming in. Some people go along and stay for the entire 24 hours. Not me, though. I dive in, grab what I want (or can) and get out again.
