    I bet numbered 666 would be a devil to get.

    OK, that was bad.

      Martin is lucky enough to not live in King, Pierce, or Snohomish County and have to pay for Sound Transit (mass transit.)

      In 2019 when I bought my Jeep, $650 of thats $800 license fee was for Sound Transit. This year it went down to $525 of the $630 renewal. I did enjoy riding the bus and train everyday for 10 years but damn.

        That is a valid point. The mass transit payments I have are for C-Tran which serves a much smaller population and does not operate a ferry and light rail system. We have regular and rapid transit buses but that is it. I will saw that for the price I pay they offer very good service.

          Save 10% on any order. This code is what worked (Thanks Ron!), I only ordered one book. The book I ordered is one of the scarce titles by British author J Russell Warren and I've previously only seen it selling for over $300 and I could not pay that much for one book by this author no matter how much I love his books. The copy I got was under $30 and what I would call a good reading copy.

                That is is a good way of putting it Martin. I was really surprised when this reader's copy just popped up. I'd be very surprised if this happens with the other 2 or 3 scarce titles. BTW, I'm really enjoying Snow Upon The Desert, over halfway through the book now.

                    It's always great to stumble upon something you've been looking for.

                    Yesterday, I was half joking with a friend of mine that I should enlist his assistance in tracking down a handful of missing comic covers that David Petersen did. He did four covers to a series from Boom called The Muppets Snow White, and I have #1, and #4, but #2 and #3 never seem to come up on eBay. In fact, I've only seen #2 and it was stupid priced. Amazon had them (I never think about looking at Amazon) but they were priced quite a bit more than I thought they were worth. Well, my friend finds a set of the four issues, for $10, and while only three of them were David Petersen, they included the two issues I was missing.

                    Now if I can only track down that missing print and that damn shield . . .

                            I expected the person yesterday to decline the price I was asking for those two books. I pushed the envelope a little on one. I wouldn't sell a huge book like that for what I was seeing online and I would not have been shocked if the person declined my asking price.
