and a
RANDOM ESTATE SALE POST
much farther than usual but mixed it with a near place to kill 2 burds with 1 stone. small listing said 1500 books and artifacts. well, this family knew what they were selling so $$$. but i found 8 limited edition 1903 set of William Defoe's works. coooool and a old edition of tristam shandy. want to read that as i was intrigued by what they said about the movie. also a archibald mcliesh poetry book. looks obscure. $? the man had some amazing books. wonder if enherted, cause there was quite a lot of east lake era furniture. was a mid 1800's home, but terribly abused by modernization. hard to see the original home. but his books! he had a 1600's. i just looked at it to touch it. and lots of late 1800's BIG illustrated books. i got a steal for the defoe's for $20.
something for the next generation to sell when i kick the bucket.
nice drive.
