Book shop sales, signings, expansions and more
 A couple of intriguing book-sale things from the in box:
Partners & Crime mystery book shop's Bleak Midwinter Sale starts today, ends Thursday:
Fill a whole shopping bag with all sorts of first edition/hardcover treats for a mere $25! Find out-of-print titles from some of our favorite authors, terrific copies of newer titles, and the obscure and mysterious books which somehow spontaneously appear in the Silence-of-the-Lambs hallway in the dark reaches of our scary basement. Or take a chance on someone you've never read!
* Single books may be purchased for $3, but we're hoping you fill a bag
* Books are mostly first editions, some are signed, and many titles are the same ones you'll find on our new paperback shelves for 2-3 times the price! ... And from the library at the International Center for Photography on January 26 and 27:We kick off the new year with the Third Annual Benefit Book Sale with all proceeds benefitting the Library. Choose from an extraordinary selection of donated books, periodicals, duplicate materials, and items beyond the Library's scope.
FreeNYC also points out that this weekend is Tashen's bi-annual warehouse book sale.
