You know what rocks?

Finding a copy of an out-of-print book in an obscure subject area for $7.95, when you thought you were going to have to pay a collector $60.00 plus for it, or not get it at all. That rocks.

Downside? According to Powells.com, book is underlined or written in. Well, hell, kids. *I* was gonna write in it.

Yay!

So, what is the book?

BTW, are you familiar with http://www.addall.com/Used/?

Probably my most savingest find was collection of the Encyclopedia of Occultism and Parapsychology. I found it for $50, it was $350 most places and $500 retail. Yay!

Oooh. Shiny link. Thanks!

This is Cassell's Encyclopedia of Queer Myth. Not terribly rare, but out of print, and possibly the only thing out there that covers glbt/etc. themes in mythology and symbolism across cultures.

Your fish is much bigger :-P
