FOTL Sale Yesterday

Went to a local FOTL yesterday.
Lots of books but very little collectible items.
I did, however, get a box full of hardcover summer reading fiction plus some
very nice art books with nice color plates for a mere $5.

It depends on your definition of collectible, of course, but a library
sale is usually not the place to find such things. Francis has done
very well for himself, though, at some of them...

Sometimes I strike gold at these sales, rarely but sometimes.
Anyway, I passed a pleasant hour or so poking thru the stock.

Connecticut is fertile ground for used books. I am lucky to
have a good location.

gibt es keine Uniformen,
weder Abzeichen, noch irgend welche Normen,
Und Soldaten sind dort nicht zu sehen.

Yes, you are very lucky. I see the booksalefinder ads for huge
sales in Connecticut. I need to become a less-wimpy driver.

Still, here in Massachusetts we have some good sales coming up.
"Good", for one thing, means not picked over. Too much of that,
including at places that never engaged in such practices.
