Taking a break with a book at the annual Oamaru Bookarama yesterday were Jacinta Kennedy and her 18-month-old son, Blair Newton, who were at the sale before the doors opened to get the best pick. Photo by David Bruce.
Club president Helen Webster said there had been a ''fantastic response'' to the appeal for donations of books, although there were not quite as many paperbacks and soft-cover fiction titles given for the sale as usual.
She thought that might be because keen readers of fiction were now buying more e-books, which could take its toll on future sales.
The sale continues today from 9am to 5pm and tomorrow from 9am to noon.
