A few years ago it was over 400,000 books. It's one of the largest used book sales in the United States run by volunteers.
This years stats:
– Items for the book sale pack the 41,000 square foot 4-H Building at the Iowa State Fair Grounds.
– 4 semi trailers transport the books and wares from the Jacqueline N. Blank book drop to the sale.
– 12,000 customers from 37 different states and 139 Iowa towns attended the last book sale.
– 800 tables are filled with 200,000 books for each sale—and each sale features a completely new inventory!
