Libraries are Great for Collecting

October--went into a local library and bought the hardcover book club edition of STAR WARS...From the Adventures of Luke Skywalker (1st print, Dec. 1976) for $1, I have seen the same book in the exact condition in antique stores for $24.95

December--went into the same library and saw THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK hardcover book club edition (1980, first print) and paid another $1

"Don't under estimate the power of the library".

They also had EU books, but those are icky (sorry).

date Posted: Jan 02, 2007 11:35 AM Great find! I too have found that library book sales are the best places to pick up books for a bargain. (especially during those "fill a bag for 1$" sales) "Don't under estimate the power of the library". That's right, don't under estimate libraries. I know, I work at one.
