I just finished thrifting for the first time since my return. I may have just had my best book score at this Goodwill yet, and that's a tall hill to climb with all 3 of the Robotech art books looming over this store. With all this hype I bet Shadow's getting himself ready, I always seem to grab things he needs. I have a duplicate Icewind Dale trilogy now if anybody wants to start those books. We should start a book trading thread.
First, the regular sized, normal paperback novels.

Next, the super ultra deluxe Collector's Editions with Treasure Island kept in shot for scale! All the paperbacks were 99 cents each to make the deal sweeter!

A French-language Citadel Miniatures painting guide? Hey, why not.
And in case you care, last week I picked up a stack of weekly science journals from the 1920s and 30s...
[img width=550 height=577]http://i1273.photobucket.com/albums/y409/Zagnorch/books%208-26-15c_zpsn80npr7s.jpg[/img]
...a stack of San Jose Sharks programs & yearbooks...

...and a few All-Star/Pro Bowl programs.

Needless to say, I'm beat. I think I'll go lie down for a while. In any case, I hope you enjoyed this wonderful little journey. Maybe we can do this again some day...
...but I doubt it.
Until next time...

How'd I miss Psycho's pickup?! Damn!
...yeah, I don't have the Salvatore books in paperback, but I have the compendium. Fortunately, I own all of those in some form, so no spazzing out from me. Great find though.
Zag: Those Science Journals are amazing. Any interesting concepts or names in the journals?

Got a nice haul of books today, for free!
[img width=700 height=933]http://i.imgur.com/NOJrVsk.jpg[/img]
Lovely illustrated guide to samurais and their history.
[img width=700 height=525]http://i.imgur.com/SNYokSP.jpg[/img]
Not one, but TWO copies of the Simpsons complete guide. It covers the first eight seasons in great detail. (Will trade one for SNES games
)
[img width=700 height=933]http://i.imgur.com/Rc0yzjn.jpg[/img]
This thing that's not quite a book, but amazing nonetheless. It's like a paper cut out stageplay.
[img width=700 height=525]http://i.imgur.com/uyeSu7v.jpg[/img]
You punch out the actors and set and props.
[img width=700 height=525]http://i.imgur.com/45mQTpA.jpg[/img]
Look at what could be. Such production value. Think of the rave reviews...
[img width=700 height=525]http://i.imgur.com/k5zZBiN.jpg[/img]
Two encyclopedic DK guides. I love those things.
[img width=700 height=933]http://i.imgur.com/3JqOmiM.jpg[/img]
Last but not least, this hefty madman of a novel. Going to be a while until I get to this.

I really don't need to buy more books, but the local Friends of the Library sale is this weekend and I might see what I can find tomorrow.

I'm jealous of Phsyco's Redwall books, I've been working on getting into it (I loved the cartoon as a kid) and so far I only have hardcopies of the original Redwall and Mossflower because it's all I've ever come across.

Psycho can't compete with me. I'm missing 3 hardcovers, the newer tradeback reprints, and some of the softcover re-issues, but it's all here. 2 Christmases ago, my mom purchased all of the hardcovers she could find on Amazon for me that I didn't already own from when I was a kid. The owl is just an owl plushie, moved so the cats can't get to it. Series ordered chronologically, if you're curious.

I've yet to see the actual cartoon though. I think it'd ruin my mental image of the series.

The cartoon is surprising good and they got away with a lot for a kid's show (one I think think of is actually showing the snake getting beheaded Highlander style and another is implying the graphic death of Sela with some horrifying noises after she get's thrown out). They even show Slagar's scarred face in pretty graphic detail without obscuring any of it in the second season.
I should really got on Ebay sometime and maybe see if I can find some lots for a good price.

My wifes-grandparents have been downsizing some old papers and books and stuff. In the last round I only found a couple things of interest.
This book is awful. These are the worst jokes.....which is why I grabbed it. Copyright is 1939 and this is a 1946 reprint.
I just took pictures of random pages, if you want more let me know

I found these hanging around Goodwill, so figured I might give them a shot and see if they're as good as a lot of people say.

I tried The Hunger Games as a friend was obsessing over it. read it in a couple days i think, it was pretty bad honestly. it's mildly entertaining but there are a lot better dystopia novels out there than this
