At least it's a literate gremlin

I'm not sure what it is about this particular used book store in Robinson, but I turn into some little goblin-creature whenever I'm there.  I scuttle around, clutching volumes to my chest, gibbering, squeaking, and going "mine mine mine" and, occasionally, giggling maniacally.

I am at a loss to recall any other place where I scuttle. But it gives great enjoyment to whoever has come with me, and I got some great prices on hardcovers to replace some paperbacks that are falling to shreds.


BTW - is or has someone recently started publishing past Hugo winners in hardcover?  I saw Memory and The Doomsbday Book in matching unfamiliar covers with 50th Anniversary of something or other logos on them.

The Science Fiction Book Club [http://www.sfbc.com/] has a collection of special hardcovers they're publshing in honor of their 50th anniversary.

Also, scuttling, acquisitive mutters, & great prices for the win!

Thanks for the link.

Oh, if I win, do I win more books? 8-)

At those prices, but of course!
