The TC Book Sale continues until 7 p.m. Saturday and from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday at the Victoria Curling Club, 1952 Quadra St.
A cheer went up among the volunteers on Saturday 10 minutes after 9 a.m. to mark the first sale of the 27th Times Colonist Book Sale.
Depol, who works for a local bookstore, said he was primarily there to expand his personal collection of Buddhist philosophy. One Massy Books employee who had come over from Vancouver was overheard telling her co-workers near the start of the line to not be afraid of getting underneath the tables — where more books are stacked — to get a good sale.
