Annual Symphony Book Fair is a book-lover's bonanza

Mary Jo Brown loves music, and she loves books.

That’s why she’s in charge of this year’s Symphony Book Fair, the three-day fundraiser that benefits the Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra . The 58th annual fair got under way today at 9 a.m. at Delgado Community College’s Student Life Center. Admission today is $10; on Friday and Saturday, it’s free.

Last week, Brown was overseeing the final push for this year’s sale, as volunteers priced and boxed thousands of used books at a long table in an old warehouse on Oak Street.

Over their heads, the battered ceiling was pierced by sunlight and some native greenery.

“Note the vines,” Brown said, laughing. “We do, every once in a while, chop them back. When they get in our eyes.”

Along the walls were stacked dozens of cardboard boxes, marked by category: Cookbooks. Religion. Gardening. Sports. Hobbies. Biographies. Travel books. Science fiction and romance. And all kinds of history — 21 boxes crammed with military history books alone.

There are thousands of books in more than 50 categories, all priced to sell. Paperbacks are 75 cents and up, hardbacks $1 and up.

Leonard Tubbs of Metairie sat near the front door, pricing paperbacks. “I go to the book sale to bag books, and I usually buy some,” he said.

“Lenny only does paperback fiction. And romances,” Brown said. The rest of the volunteers cackled. Volunteers return for years, and there’s lots of friendly joking among them.

Phyllis Bernstein has been volunteering at the book fair for 50 years. Nowadays, she commutes from Bay St. Louis, Miss., to help.

“Phyllis is the expert on cookbooks,” said Ellen Goldring, the incoming book fair chairwoman.

Added Bernstein: “And don’t say Phyllis doesn’t cook!”

Besides books, the fair has a wealth of original art, brand-new frames and posters. There are CDs, cassettes, a special section of Louisiana music, audio books, VHS tapes and DVDs.

Goldring works with the audiobooks and CDs. “I’m a music lover,” she said, lingering near an LP with the oddball title, “Kissing, Drinking and Insect Songs.”

There will be plenty of unusual items on the tables at Delgado. Rachelen Lien, a piano teacher and organist who has volunteered at the fair for 30 years, sat in a back room surrounded by yellowed musical scores. “This is all sheet music, and it’s quite valuable,” she said. Popular vocal music scores from the 1920s and ’30s are listed online for $15 to $20 each. “I priced them kind of low,” she said.
