BURSTING WITH BOOKS?LET US TAKE A LOOK...

Whether you’ve got 500 books or 5000, 20 boxes or a truckload, we’d like to talk to

you about buying your books.

We buy large (300+) collections of books (we prefer non-fi ction but we’ll take some fi ction) as well DVDs, CDs, video games

and some collectible items.

The dropout prevention program Communities In Schools held its annual fundraiser – Dancing with the High Point Stars – on Feb. 23. Guilford County Board of Education member Ed Price, of Ed Price and Associates, was one of the stars, but had an “tragic accident” that kept him from showing off his fancy footwork. However, it didn’t keep him from attending – or from donating to the worthy cause. Price reportedly had a miraculous recovery and showed up for work the next day without a single bandage or brace.
