Your Latest Thrift/used Book Store Finds

[skimom2]

Today I bought Flesh and Bone (Jonathan Maberry) and the UK edition of Joe Hill's NOS4R2 (slightly different title because of the UK pronunciation of the letter 'A') at Hastings. The F&B was used ($4), but the Hill book was pristine. I have no idea why Hastings had the UK copy, but for $8, I had to have it. Cooler cover than the US version, I have to say I also bought a Swedish movie from a Jo Nesbo book (the name is escaping me right now, and I'm too lazy to go downstairs to look--lol) for $2 and both Child 44 and Maggie for $7 altogether. I shouldn't have spent so much, but I'm addicted, I tell you! ADDICTED!

Oooo, I'm going to have to go check out my local Hastings this week! Skimom2, did you happen to see the newer Scribner hardback edition of The Talisman at yours? The one here by my house had it but they didn't have Black House, which I thought was strange as they were re-published on the same day.

Nope. No Talisman's or Black House at all, in fact. That is a bit weird.

I don't think anyone reads Stephen King around here. I hardly ever find a SK book at a thrift store, and I look!

I have the same problem.

I have the same problem.

Or, maybe the people around us are looking for him too!

I wish - I just live somewhere completely lame.

You and me both babes.

Jeezily crow, if you or morgan need anything, let me know! I see just about everything second hand here, aside from the earliest books (and even those show up occasionally), and most very reasonable. We're all so close--media mail is dirt cheap and you'd have them within a day or two.

We're all in the same boat. We need a meet & drink, to commiserate.

Today I came home with a beautiful hardback 1st printing of Body Of Evidence by Patricia Cornwell ($2.99 at Value Village) and a wonderful unread hardback 1st of Angel Time by Anne Rice that has an autographed label with illustrations attached to the front inside endboard and it also had two others stuck inside that are unused (and I only paid $1.00 for the Rice book!). Going to send the Rice book to my niece in Texas.

So I find this weird old leather bound book in Goodwill. Some guy, Arab name...Abdul Alhazred? Necro...something. Necrocomicon? Something like that. Nasty old pages, smelled like butcher paper. Handwritten script...and just for a moment I felt its eldritch power seeping from the binding, weaving a mist before my very eyes...dear God, it's seven-layered dangle flappers...

Then I looked at the sticker. Five bucks for a USED book? Dream on, turkeys. I chose a couple old Harold Robbins instead. Those were in English, at least.

You might have scored big-big on Antique Roadshow.

A hardbound copy of Candles Burning. Pretty book, and a nice replacement for my worn PB

Sometimes the King books are plentiful and then we'll have a dry spell. I get so excited when I find one.

Cycle of a Werewolf is a good find.

About a year ago they built a new huge Goodwill right across the highway from where I work, so it's super easy to just swing by once or twice a week after work and scan the huge book aisles for any treasures. I think Tuesdays all books, hard or soft, go for a quarter. Always one or two Kings amongst the bunch.
