A rare find at the local Dump

I went to the transfer station over the weekend and that have this shed, actually there are two sheds. One is for books and the other is for odds and ends. Anyway we always like to check it out you know (one man's trash is another man's treasure) and I happen to spot this book.


I love old stuff like this, it has a copyright of 1965 and the book sure does look like it. All except for a few scribble marks on the cover which are not as noticeable as you would thing the book is in pretty good condition.

I love old books - in fact... I need more bookshelves, I have books on the 3 bookshelves I have, books wrapped in saran wrap and stacked in a corner where two of the bookshelves are together to make a void in the back. I have books in the attic, books in the closet, sigh... lots and lots of books :)

Rick,

Finding books is my all time favorite! I can't remember how many I have picked up over the years.

Happy New Year to you and all!
