Today I went with Elly to do some errands and get coffee (my main motivation for going). One of the errands was stopping at the thrift store, which, she promised, had tons of cool stuff. I spent about ten minutes browsing through some old clothes, but didn't really find anything that moved me until I got to the books. It is amazing how many mystery and romance books people buy and then throw away. What's more amazing is what I found among all those old Danielle Steele and Patricia Cornwell paperbacks:
Pretty sweet, eh? This thing has to be about 30 or 40 years old, and it's signed by the author, Chuck Jonkel, a famous bear researcher and founder of the Great Bear Foundation.
The best part: it was only $0.10.
