More Books

So, -coughs-, I bought more books.

All right! You caught me!

Yes, I know, I seriously should FINISH some of the books that I start, (I think I'm reading over 60 now, as I've been reading over 50 since last month), but, you know...

Here's how it happened.

There's this INSANELY cheap book fair at our local library. Prices:

Paperbacks: 25 cents
Hardbacks: $1
Magazines: 10 cents
Videos: $1

Very cheap! So, here's the books I bought:

Florence of Arabia by Christopher Buckley
Insomnia by Stephen King
Four Past Midnight by Stephen King
The Exorcist by William Peter Blatty

And the crowned jewel of all these books:

In Cold Blood by Truman Capote

In itself, it wouldn't be that special, but it's a first printing edition of the book. It's dust jacket is a little screwed up, and there's black marker on the top bunch of pages, but I mean seriously, a dollar!?

All these books cost a total of $4.25. Seriously.

    My son likes King a lot as does an oldfriend of mine. Marvel isadapting The Dark Tower in comics right now. My sister read In Cold Blood when it came out. It was a standard bearer for true crime books. Sounds like you got a bargain you are happy with.

    I love a fellow cheapskate. I also love to pick up little long lost gems at book fairs or yard sales. I hope you like them. B

    Isn't that great when you can pick up books at that price.

    I'm very happy with my purchases.

    sprinks-Thank you very much!
    B-Mental-Hello, fellow cheapskate. Pleasure to meet you.
    Virgil-It sure is...
    mtpspure-I did, I did. I don't really want to read the DT comics though, as they seem very strange.

    Thanks guys.
