So I stopped by a local H@lf Price Books today, as I happened to be in the neighborhood. Armed with modest expectations, I was pleased to find a few interesting books on American history to read. Understand now that this particular store is notorious for looking up older items online and pricing them at what must surely be the highest price they can find. Well, you can only lecture (lightheartedly, of course) the teens behind the counter so many times before they roll their eyes that just because someone somewhere is asking X dollars for that item doesn't mean it's worth that.
That having been stated, as I was on my way out, I gave one of their metal spinner-racks full of paperbacks a twirl and, lo and behold, right in front of me at eye-level, this gem swung into view. Now, it's not in the top echelon of paperbacks, admittedly, but it is somewhat more difficult to find because of its status as a baseball crossover collectible. Not only that, it couldn't have been read more than once, as the spine is perfectly tight and square. Needless to say, when I saw that it was priced three dollars, I speedily snatched it right up as if someone was bearing down on me to wrestle me for it! Subtract from that the 20% storewide sale discount, and I was pretty darned pleased.
Avon No. 307 - Big League Baseball, anthology, 1950.
