Jealous of everyone who doesn't live hundreds/thousands of miles away.

I make it a habit to visit the MIT Press whenever in Boston. Granted, they don't have a loading dock sale every day, but they may well have a few racks of similarly-discounted clearance books.

This is worthy of a 5 hour drive.

I might go if I was 5 hours away..

We should make a thread here so that people can tell us what treasures they found.

Ah, the loading dock sale. I remember those well. Some of the things I found there in the past included discounted copies of SICP, 'The Little Schemer', and the entire source code of PGP (yeah they put it in a book, don't know why). There was a companion book for the PGP code that I always kept an eye out for, but was never on sale.

There's also a lot of economics/sociology books on sale, so you can pick up esoteric things on a number of subjects. Just go, go, go.

Just got back from the sale... got about 80 bucks worth of books (lots of $100+ books if from amazon). 11 books total, a few books the size of rhode island.
