To the Editor:

The 82nd Annual Bryn Mawr-Wellesley Book Sale was one of the most successful ever thanks to the exceptional book donation from the family of the late Peter Oppenheimer. The “Oppenheimer Collection” was the centerpiece of this year’s sale and nearly sold out within minutes of the sale’s opening.

Our special gratitude goes to all 110 volunteers who unpacked, priced, and arranged the 60,000 plus books for the sale and to those who worked long hours cashiering. This year we also had help from volunteers from Princeton Day School, The Hun School, Lawrenceville, and Princeton High School. Their efforts lightened the work for the rest of our volunteers and we appreciate their help. As always, Princeton Day School provided a welcoming home for the sale, as they have for over 20 years and the PDS crew members took care of everything we could possibly ask for during the 12 days we occupied their school.

Next year we will feature the remainder of the Oppenheimer collection that was so popular. We urge all those who want to purchase these books to come on the first day of the sale.
