Readers find precious bounty at Book Bonanza

A bookworm's bonanza is about to break loose in our own backyard. One of the largest used book sales in the region, the 17th annual Book Bonanza, will take place at the Fingerlakes Mall this weekend.

This book sale has developed such a reputation that people even arrange their vacations around it.

“We get a lot of people from the Northeast,” said Diane La Rue, organizer of the bonanza. “I met an interesting woman from Pennsylvania who said she had scheduled her vacation here to correspond with the Book Bonanza. I'm anticipating more people this year who live within an hour or so of this area.”
