Good advice.
I was digging through some stuff that my mother had pulled out for a garage sale and came across something that got me all giddy. What could it have been? A long-lost firearm? Cash? A forgotten case of ammo?
No, this:
The picture looks weird because the dust-jacket is a silver, holographic job. The picture at the top is the actual cover of the book. It is a coffee table-sized, illustrated version of "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy."
And I couldn't have been more thrilled. I don't remember when I got this, but I do remember getting it, sometime back in high school. It has been locked in a plastic container for a long time and is in pretty good condition.
Whatever you do,
Rare find indeed...I have a copy, not like yours, somewhere in my book stacks.
ReplyDeleteFunny thing, I did a little search online and the first thing I saw was one selling for $3,500. I almost swallowed my tongue until I saw it was a signed copy. I also found a thick Nietzsche book that I read in high school, but it wasn't any kind of special edition. I'll be putting this up somewhere safe after I go through it and have a nice chuckle.
DeleteWow, that is a keeper! :-) I just read the paperback...LOL
ReplyDeleteNFO, I loved this book in high school. The humor is right up my alley. I was happy to find this one in such good condition. Thanks!
DeleteI remember you bringing that to school. Awesome.
ReplyDeleteFor some reason, I barely remember the book. Some of the homework I found I remember all too well. Mrs. 45er got a kick out of looking through some of my old work.
DeleteEdit: for some reason, I barely remember THIS book. I definitely remember the story.
