The Annual Monster Book Fair held in the former Farmers homewares building ended on a high note yesterday, said organiser Marion Davenport.
Rotary Club of Wanganui volunteers assembled over 20,000 books for the sale which opened on Friday morning and ended at 4pm yesterday.
"People were queueing up outside the doors before we opened on Friday and we have made record sales," said Mrs Davenport.
"We haven't added up the Eftpos sales so I don't know what the total is yet.
"But I know we have surpassed last year's total."
