I remember some book fairs. Couldn't usually buy anything back then.
Then there was the flyer that the teacher would pass out with a selection of books that the student could purchase. I still have my copy of "Hound of the Baskervilles" somewhere around here. I must have been somewhere around 9 yrs old when I got it because I read it during a week long visit with my paternal grandmother.
