I'm a huge fan of used book sales.
Sunday I found the almost complete (possibly first edition) Elsie Dinsmore series. I'm not huge on Elsie...she was too perfect and later on she names her children after people who are still alive and actively involved in the series. Of course there is no distinction between the Elsie, Edwards and Horaces. Still I showed them to my sister and she got very excited. Now we just have to figure out where they are going to go.
My big personal find was a book called the Pocket Shakespeare. It has seven complete plays and memorable quotes from others. It has sonnet and songs and all sorts of good things. All for one dollar!! I've really been enjoying it. I'd forgotten how much I enjoyed Shakespeare. I read Julius Caesar when I was ten and loved it...I saw the Taming of the Shrew at a Shakespeare Festival when I was fourteen. I'm so excited!
I was going to say more, but there is a little dog in my house that is being stalked by my cat. I'm praying this will not end in a showdown. More later...
