I just randomly looked at the shelves of books while I was in Goodwill and spotted these:
Stairway to Heaven Led Zeppelin Uncensored
Super Mario Advance: Choose Your Own Adventure

Every other paperback was $0.75 but the Mario book was $2, which I didn't realize until I checked out.
The Zeppelin book should be good for work during the down times.

Wow, that brought back hidden memories. I had a whole bunch of Nintendo gamebooks back in the day... I had completely forgotten. Now I want them back!

I find it ironic that, in a thread about books, "book's" is incorrectly used in the title.
