Pay one penny per page for any book you want at Books & Co. new book sale

One of Dayton’s biggest book stores is planning a big sale that could be a dream come true for book lovers.

Books & Co. at The Greene is holding its first penny-per-page book sale all day on Saturday, July 13.

For members of the Books & Co. discount club, one book per customer costs just one penny per page. So for example, a 500-page beautifully illustrated art book for your coffee table would cost only $5.

Any book that has page numbers is game, and there is no book too big or too beautiful. Children’s books and other non-book merchandise are not a part of the sale, however.
