I'll take the Robotech books.
Beat me to it.
Actually, I have the second one buried somewhere.
I had a limited-edition Carl Macek-signed slipcased hardcover edition of the third art book that I paid about ten bucks for, then sold online a couple years later for over a hundy. The buyer was local, and we arranged a pickup at the junior college I was attending at the time.
Anyhoo, if you did indeed shell out $0.99 for each one, that's one of the best book deals I've ever seen...

Yeah, it looks like the hardcovers are still going for big bucks. But, these softcovers aren't bad prices either, just highly inconsistent and with a crazy range. Not too much supply, but demand seems to be there on some days, with nothing on others.

Seeing as how Macek passed away a few years back, I wouldn't be surprised. Nothing like death to push up the values of collectibles. Just ask the folks running the estate of Elvis Presley, they'll tell ya.

The second art book is usually the least valuable, most likely because (1) it has the least pages of the three by far, and (2) it's mostly fan art, rather than original sketches by the shows' designers.

Got this for $.45 because it was half-off book day at Goodwill.
It has some funny moments

ROFL. With the number of those books I pick up, I'm still missing most of those.

What books?
Pretty sure I'm missing:
Ghost King
Pirate King
Downshadow
Murder in Cormyr
Storm of the Dead
Ascendency of the Last
Spirit of the Wind
The Dragons of Krynn (HOW DO I NOT HAVE THIS?! THIS BOOK IS ONE OF THE FIRST POSTERS I BOUGHT MY WIFE WHEN WE STARTED DATING AFTER I FOUND OUT SHE WAS A DRAGONLANCE FAN!)
Bertrem's Guide to the Age of Mortals
Amber and Iron
The Forest King
...as I said, most of them.
11/13
I lost my list of books when I reformatted my PC to bring performance back to par and install Windows 8.1. I'll put it back together today or tomorrow - supposedly, there's a library sale in my town today.
EDIT: Woop woop! Found out I was smart and uploaded it to Google Docs before formatting. I R SMRT.

Man I spent a lot of time reading Dragonlance books.
Never got into Forgotten Realms as much. Read a few of the first Drizzt trilogy but that was about it.
I finished Ready Player One. It got a little sappy, and I envisioned a more poignent ending, but the nerd culture was cool, and the world was well crafted, and plug me into the Oasis right meow plz.

I've got a copy of that at home that I need to read thanks to Deadman.

After reading many of the original, fairly violent Eastman & Laird
TMNT
comics, my interest in the pussified kidvid nonsense that followed on the boob tube and the silver screen waned considerably. My preference for the comics deepened when I found out that it started as a tribute to and satire of Frank Miller's run on
Daredevil
, which was among my favorite Miller works. Eastman and Laird even tied the turtles' and Splinter's origin to that of Daredevil. It was heavily implied in one of the above volumes' flashback sequences that the canister of radioactive waste that mutated the terrapin quartet and their rodent sensei was the same one that blinded young Matt Murdock and gave him his funky hyper-senses.
What I wouldn't have given to see a TMNT flick based on the original comics, a hard-R-rated actioner with all of the ridiculous over-the-top violence and social satire that an in-his-prime Paul Verhoeven would have almost certainly delivered.
Sigh... if only.

Hey now,
I found this at the Goodwill near work today:
[img width=548 height=538]http://i1273.photobucket.com/albums/y409/Zagnorch/AmosAndyBook_zps7140eaf8.jpg[/img]
I've always wanted to read up on the history of and controversy behind what I consider the funniest sit-com of TV's golden age, as well as its radio predecessor. Oh, I suppose I could use that newfangled "internet" thingamajibber to research the deal. But where's the fun in that?
Acting as a bookmark was a San Francisco Muni bus transfer pass, coincidentally dated on my birthday. The year's not printed on it, though.
