No, my own. I put something in here that didn't have a thing to do with thrift store finds. hahaha!
You cheeky monkey, you!
Been there, done that....
At Goodwill today I bought the large trade paperback of The Living Dead which has King's Home Delivery story in it, plus ones by Joe Hill, Clive Barker, Neil Gaiman and lots of others. At another thrift store I bought a bookclub edition of Ira Levin's A Kiss Before Dying, and paperbacks of Aim For The Heart by 'Wendall McCall (which is really Ridley Pearson!) and the movie tie-in edition of Midnight Cowboy (I'm walkin' here!) by James Leo Herlihy. The store was having a $.10 a paperback sale so I figured why not?
Today I came home with a nice paperback of John Steinbeck's Of Mice And Men (it's the movie tie-in edition with pics from the film starring Gary Sinise and John Malkovitch) and a nice hardback 1st of Amy Tan's The Valley Of Amazement.
I love Steinbeck and Amy Tan! Great finds! I'm going to visit the thrift stores here tomorrow and see if I find anything interesting, bookwise.
Make sure you check inside every King book to see if there's an autograph! I found a perfect hardback of Insomnia signed at a Goodwill one time at a tiny town North of Seattle. You just never know.....
Yeppers, I paid a whopping $1.99 for an unread 1st printing autographed King book! I have often wondered how and why that book made it to a Goodwill in that tiny Washington town....Oh my!! I pray this happens to me someday!
Oh my!! I pray this happens to me someday!
I'm hoping this will happen to me too one day, but then I keep thinking... how likely is it that I will find one that says...
"Flake, Flake I love you... but we only have 14 hours to save the Earth!"
Well, the way things are going in our world right now it might not be so far-fetched, ya know?
The 14 hours bit, yar?Well, the way things are going in our world right now it might not be so far-fetched, ya know?
Steve will need two of those hours to write, edit and publish a new book tho, so you'll really only have 12 hours to SAVE THE WORLD!!!!The 14 hours bit, yar?

Okay kingricefan - that is an excellent idea - even if it is a book I already own, I am going to start checking inside every hardback copy of his books, just in case
