As soon as one was priced I bought a copy, then a week later I bought another copy. $55 each plus tax.
Another regular bought the third copy.
A couple months later a copy was still there with the manufacturing error of the folded center page and I bought that copy too.




Here's the pic of the first two.
Just 50 year time capsule stuff going on there.

Yea, hopefully, Mark hasn't spoiled us.

Right. There were lots of great books to pick up. I bought about 40 books but there were still plenty more for others. I'm glad lots of folks got to get some. It was a great ride.
