I enjoy spending time in bookstores browsing through the stacks, but no bookstore compares to what you can find at the Greater St. Louis Book Fair. More than a million books, DVDs and CDs will fill the lower level of the parking garage at the West County Center this weekend. For collectors, there are also tables of rare books, first editions and autographs. Admission is free except for Thursday night when there's a $10 cover to get in. Most of the books cost less than $5, and the final day of the sale on Sunday is half-price day. Money raised from the book fair goes to the Nursery Foundation of St. Louis and other charities.
