I went to a used book sale today at the county fairgrounds. I bought 9 books for five dollars. I bought a 1963 copy of Burgess' A Clockwork Orange, and I looked it up on a bookseller's website, and copies of the same edition were selling for over $200! The book I got came with two dustjackets, and the bottom one was perfect. I could browse through used books for hours on end...I wish I could do that for a living...

I try to. Back when I was not broke, I bought some pretty old electrical engineering books that dated back in the 1950s. I wanted to buy some magazines from the 1800s, but I had no money.
