I've found some great books at the one around the corner from me, like Fernand Braudel's 3-volume history of capitalism in Europe - <i>with dust jackets</i>.<br /><br />I'm usually on phencyclidine when thrifting. My kids think I'm the "cool dad", and are impressed by my great feats of strength.christiangustafsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07216348353801614419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-547276048038789798.post-33463360235342296742012-10-07T18:09:10.301-07:002012-10-07T18:09:10.301-07:00Nice. I had that How and Why book on Oceanography ...Nice. I had that How and Why book on Oceanography with the giant octopus and USS Thresher on the cover when I was a kid. I remember the grocery stores used to carry them as 'rewards' for the little children who 'endured' shopping with mommy. Sure beats the hell out of the impulse crap food garbage offered to appease the little screamers today. Anyway, your Value Village doesn't sound remotely like the one in my neck of the woods...a whole bunch of overpriced crap books and no vintage items to speak of. Of course the sterno drinkers and meth heads probably outnumber the readers 10 to 1 in this part of town.hettygreenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02942359318618747424noreply@blogger.com
