I have a 2nd edition of GWTW that I love and pet often. Not worth nearly as much, but I still loves it.
We killed a homeless man on this bench. Me and Dru. Those were good times. You know, he begged for mercy, and you know, that only made her bite harder.

Spike's Bitches 45: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

My happiest book find was at a friends-of-the-library sale where I found the collection of C.L. Moore's short stories that I had been looking for since college. I literally squealed when I saw it sitting on the hardcover table (got a few strange looks from others nearby for that noise). It's not a valuable book at all, but I treasure it.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I have a 2nd edition of GWTW
Me too!
My grandmother owns an antiquarian bookstore, and so I get a lot of 2nd & 3rd editions as birthday & Christmas presents. Not 1st editions because those are actually valuable. But still nice old books.

Happy Birthday, askye!
Happy Anniversary, Shari!
There is a bird outside singing its little heart out. I can't tell if it is a birthday or anniversary song. Maybe both.

I've got only a few old books, two from my mom that I really don't care about but keep because they were gifts, and two 2nd-edition MacGuffey Readers that I bought at an Ohio antique store because of their prominence in the Little House books.

We don't have a full-time library store, but they offer sales a few times a year at all the local libraries. At the one where I got my big find several years ago, I didn't get over there until Saturday afternoon, long after all the good stuff had been picked over, so I wasn't expecting to find anything. To get that long-wished-for item was such a thrill!

I just learned about the Bay Area Free Book Exchange. I'm not sure my bookshelves are going to be happy about this...

I'd have room for my books again if I didn't have housemates. God, I wish I had the room for my stuff again.

I'm about to pack up boxes of books and take them to the bookseller.
