via corrente and MJS-the bushevics ar underpans gnomes!
went to an estate sale. getting there 20 minutes before closing always rocks. not that there was that much. did get od frames for stretchers and a nice cozy sweater. and books. nice 1903 bio books. well, they would have been REAL NICE, but they had them in the damp basement by a window that leaked. that is just deplorable. it always amazes me.
i love books. i started buying old books just because. i bought 5 of a larger set of the complete presidential paper from washington to think pierce or so, can't remember. i may never read them, but they are cool. i bout a decameron becaause of the racy deco illustrations and then i read it(my first estate sale book read) and it was wonderful. i had managed to buy one of the best translations. lucky me. liked it so much, hen i came upon an older edition -1898? i bought that one too. i got studs terkel's the good war and THAT book was 10 times better than the brokaw drivel. and then there's the old encyclopedia brittanicas. which never cease to amuse me. and on and on they go. some i sell, most i keep. most sales have no books or just a couple and i just do not understand it. then you hit one that has a mother lode. i will never ver forget Jack Frost and his massive beautiful collection. which probably was more his father's. now i have a large portion of what they had. and the key. i spotted it the 2nd day and hoped hoped it would be there the last. and it was. yea! 1/2 off! no, cheaper than $1.50! and little did i know how old it was. hmm, what if it's medieval! heck 1500 would be cool. and then you found out. ROMAN!!! and a damned fine one at that. and i hold it as it must have been centeries ago and little by little, more bronze is revealed. cool. just cool.
where was i?
