I’ve been collecting books for years and I often some noteworthy reads among the stacks of surplus goods. A recent – and really lucky – bargain find is what prompted me to start this blog.
I was just going through my usual rounds at Booksale, a local bargain bookstore outlet near our place, when I came across this:
Oops, still got the price-tags on.
Three Calvin & Hobbes comic collections. All at P70, the equivalent of a dollar and maybe 50 or 75 cents. Just sitting on top of a motley collection of surplus manga and other western comic books.
What else could I do but grab them and buy ’em before anyone else could.
These copies are now some of the highlights of my collection – as well as some of my favorite bathroom reads. My mom and sis also read them, and are still impressed by the fact that we managed to get these below – way below – their usual market price.
I’ve set up this weblog to keep track of the more notable book finds that I’ve collected so far and as well as future hopefuls. Also, it works as an outlet for whatever opinion I’ve made of them after reading. That’s got to count as a plus.
