Author Larry McMurtry also runs the mega-bookstore, Booked Up, but 10-11 August he's holding The Last Book Sale, where over two hundred thousand titles are going to be auctioned off (over 1400 shelf-lots of about 150 books each).
The auction-site has some lot details, and there's also a list of The McMurtry 100 (warning ! dreaded pdf format !), as they asked: "Mr. Larry McMurtry to pick out 100 books to give bidders an idea of the type of quality books which will be offered within the shelf-lots".
At his store-site, McMurtry explains the reason for pushing out the books is: "Because we believe that in the book world migration is healthy".
