This year it includes BOOKS less than $50.
Graphic novels and trade paperbacks COUNT AS BOOKS.
Granted it's not a huge savings but still tax free!
Plus school supplies under $10. I'm not sure what counts as school supplies. I do know that some stores run sales in addition to the tax free thing.

It started in 1998 with Lawton Chiles and then stopped once JEB got in office -- supposedly because of budget cuts -- but I think a lot of people like it and wanted it to come back.
I know at one point there was a discussion about a property tax rebate instead of the tax free week but, as it was quickly pointed out, not everyone owns property.
