Library book sales rock! Looks like you got a couple of good finds!

[Theli]

So the main library branch here had a used book sale (could get audio books, magazines, even furniture!). $2.00 per book or fill a bag for $5.00..... Ended up with this:

As well as these from a new used shop that opened up recently.... they have lots of old sci-fi paperbacks. Even have the old Ace double (back to back) books - Jack Vance, and lots of authors I am not familiar with. Quite a few Heinlein titles too.

The 2 Clarke books are ones I've been looking for for a long time!

A couple more used book shop pick ups.....

I already had the un-expurgated version of Off Season, so not really sure why I grabbed that one!

I can't see how it would. As far as I know, the only time a physical flaw does anything except detract from the value of a book is when it was present in ALL copies of a given edition, and only that edition, as it becomes a method of identification.

Beyond that, it's a second printing and, unless you're dealing with The Gunslinger, it's 1st/1st or bust with King =/

[TJCams]

I'd be curious if it would add value to it.

Very nice grabs! I hate getting miss-cut pages, though I'm sure it adds a certain rarity value to the book.

Well my spidey senses were tingling again, this time at a Value Village locally.....

And also..... note the poorly cut section in the one pic....

This place also had (but not longer does) a nice brand new Blockade Billy. I noticed he also has a good copy of Eyes of the Dragon too.

Very nice. I grabbed a 1st Trade ed. Eyes of the Dragon from a used book sale years ago for a buck or two. It's cool what you can find if you keep your eyes open.

Very nice TJ, been a while since checking the local bookshops, should do a round again soon.

[srboone]

Very nice! Every time I do that, they never have anything. Then a friend of mine comes up a couple of days later and says "Looky what I found!" My King-dar is not as sharp as it used to be. There's still a couple of items I'm looking for.

great psychic grab!
