The fence is there to protect all the beat up old furniture.
My wife has been on the hunt for art and a coffee table she could fix up for last month-ish, so I have accompanied her on these outings. We have been chasing this Memorial Day sale at the Salvation Army, where each and every week the sales increase until the last week of the month, where everything is 75% off. For someone who says they are not "Seriously Collecting" anymore, I sure do find my share of stuff.
Cube of Wonderous Things
Books were slim at the 4 locations we went to, but at the first store, I did find 4 shelves of beat up sci-fi and fantasy for .25 cents each. The place was really packed with customers, so it was hard to grab this picture without someone walking by, or me looking like an asshole. Not a ton I was really looking for, but there were some standouts.
The R.R. Martin got me a little excited, but then I saw the condition and just deflated. I have never read it, so at least I can say I have a first edition and that I read it. Naked Society is not something you see often, and the Heinlein is something I don't remember having in my collection. Picked up the Enders Game because I sold my first/first copy and all I have is some shitty modern cover edition I hate. Love the book and the original cover, so it was a no brainer. Nothing really to sell like the last post, but still a nice little haul. I will say that I have been passing up things I would normally buy in the last year or so. I have so many boxes I have not opened in years that I forgot what is in them, so there is no reason to really go crazy. If I can get 2 more book cases in my office however.. it's go-time.
Thanks for reading.
