After a good day of novel reading and cafe lounging, I ended up at the Salvation Army not far from my house. At the thrift shop, anything can happen. You could find the first artist print of a fairly popular American painter. Or you could spend a couple hours sniffing dust and Febreeze and find nothing. I’ll let you decide what kind of day it was–Check out all the books I found. Guess how much?

I was just lucky. My guess is that some theory-buff emptied his stash at the thrift store. Doesn't happen all the time :(
