A couple of years back, I was just finishing-up The Drawing of Three. I was loving the book but bummed-out at the same time because I wouldn't be able to borrow Wastelands from the Library(I had some fines and was broke), and I also didn't have a book store near me...
I went to the flee market with my father one Sunday, not even thinking anyone would be selling used books. We walked around for about an hour before deciding to hit the road back home. We almost didn't walk down the last row of tables. At the last table in the far corner of the flee market, there were 3 books(the only 3 books this person was selling)... They were The Drawing of Three, Wastelands and Wizard in Glass. All three were brand new, in plastic. And they were the editions with the illustrations! It felt like fate. I bought all three for a dollar a piece.
What are some of your cool book finding/discovering/purchasing stories?
