Your Latest Thrift/used Book Store Finds

[Neesy]

Made a bargain today. got 5 books for a dollar and what books......!! The Time Travellers Wife by Audrey Niffenegger, The Sound And The Fury by William Faulkner, The Ocean At The End Of The Lane by Neal Gaiman, Wolfblade by Jennifer Fallon (a fantasy novel) and The Killing Kind by John Connelly. What are your opinion of John Connelly? This is the first i got of him. I've heard of him . Is he Good?

I've never read any of his stuff, but here is a link, if that helps:

The Killing Kind (Charlie Parker, #3) by John Connolly

Interesting that it is set in northern Maine!

You must have a horseshoe up your butt in your back pocket!

I do tend to find the treasures, that's for sure.

Here's the secret: go to abebooks, type in the author and the title, then click on the 'softcover' button, hit 'Search", then in the 'relevence' drop-down, click on highest to lowest prices. This will usually give you the list of ARC's from highest priced to lowest. The list will contain mass market paperbacks, too, so make sure you read the descriptions! Keep searching through the list, too, because I've gotten the last three Simmon's ARC's for less than $10 each, not including shipping. I just discovered how to do this just last week!!

Were the photographs removed and if so why?

All my earlier pictures have disappeared. You can see them if you beg me to repost, otherwise you will have to wait till I set up and photograph bookshelves.

I'm using one called Libib. Ypu can divide your collection in parts of your own choosing, for instance, Crime, SF, Literary, Fact or something else. It can also read barcodes on the backs of books which makes entering them rather easy.

That sounds kewl, thanks.

Books in the left hand pile are mostly from the Columbia County Rural Library District Book Sale on April 21, 2017, or bought in thrift stores around the same time, and books on the right from the Mid-Columbia Library sale in Kennewick on April 28, or bought in thrift stores afterwards. The only paperback I bought in Dayton was Mystery of the Witches' Bridge. The others came from Tri-Cities, but I arranged them in the picture so the piles would be even.

My newer pictures are not posting either.

Saturday I came home with a very nice 1st hardback of A Redbird Christmas by Fannie Flagg that is SIGNED on the title page! That's the second signed book of hers that I own now. Wish she would come to Spokane or Seattle so I could get the rest of my collection signed by her, especially my copy of Fried Green Tomatoes.

Fannie Flagg says new novel, 'The Whole Town's Talking,' will be her last - Alabama NewsCenter

Looks like you'll have to go to California first (unless you can convince her to come visit)

This makes me sad. She is such a hugely talented writer.

Library in my town has a book sale going on and I found the entire Dark Tower book series in hardcover including Wind Keyhole. All of the hardcover books for 2 dollars if you can fit them in a plastic bag.

 

[urrutiap]

Now I need to figure out where to put them since the Dark Tower hardcover they're just freaking huge

I'm going back to the library today and I'm hoping to find other goodies.
I'm surprised the library was getting rid of all of the big hardcover dark tower books.

Guess they need the room for new books of whatever
