Beginning of a productive weekend, I hope.
An unusual amount of the tasks and projects I have been trying to do forever seem to be coming together. This vaguely worries me. But I'll take it.
A chore I just finished involved sorting through four boxes of books sent to me by a small library in Colorado. (It's a little sideline of my regular bookbiz; I act as a volunteer broker and sell a few books for non-profits like schools and libraries.) We have a joke that it isn't a REAL booksale unless you find copies of Elements of Style, Jonathan Livingston Seagull and The Bridges of Madison County. There were none of those in the lot, but there was...a dictionary. *sighs* Out of the four boxes, there are SEVEN books that are worth an attempt to sell.
Anyone have a friend born in 1956 who really likes words? This 1956 Webster's New 20th Century Unabridged is in fairly nice shape and has a cool embossed cover. About 5" thick and heavy! $5 (that goes to the library) plus postage, gimme a shout.
You can always see all our books at http://www.neonhearts.com If you want.
