That is a great idea. My town's annual library sale does something similar on the last day of the sale. They tell everyone to grab a box (any size) from a huge pile they have and it's a flat $5.00 for all you can stuff into it. I usually go the first day of the sale and pay per item for the books I want to be absolutely certain I'll get, then I return on the last day for the $5/box sale. I've gone to enough now to know what I can leave until the last day. It's a great way to pick up books I might not ordinarily choose too!
