Big summer book sale on snob titles

Books are going for as little as $3 (as much as $25, but plenty in between, which means 50-90 percent off cover prices). The Arena itself is worth the trip—a loft-like venue for performances, exhibitions, and other brainy gatherings. Sale runs through August 30. PowerHouse Arena, 37 Main St., DUMBO, Weekdays 10-7, weekends 11-7, (718) 666-3049.
