You must NEVER post without having read the notes. That is just not done and now you must go in the corner and flog yourself like Judge Turpin.
Someone asked what two goodies I got at the book fair on Saturday. I got a first edition of Ernest Gann's The High and the Mighty, an incredibly hard first to find. In fact, this is the first time I've ever seen one and I'm shocked it hadn't been snapped up by one of the dealers. Not in primo condition, but the jacket, which has some interior staining near the flap folds, is complete, not price-clipped and outwardly looks pretty nice. The book itself is in near fine condition. The only reason I think that someone hadn't snapped it up was because the dealer was in one of the out-of-the-way rooms. It was incredibly priced for such a rarity, in fact I couldn't believe how cheap it was (in fact, it was one of the only reasonably-priced books at the fair. I looked it up on the ABE and the only first in jacket listed (in similar condition) is going for 1250 bucks (albeit, signed). That's one hundred percent more than I paid for it.
The other goodie was a Fine copy in Fine jacket of Robert Traver's Anatomy of a Murder. This is a book that just never ever shows up in collectible condition. It was actually not unreasonably priced, but the dealer, who is a friend, took almost fifty percent off and I had to get it. Again, the only like copy on the ABE (NOT in as good condition at all) is listed at 850, which is hugely more than I got it from. My copy is also a "review copy" which makes it even more valuable.
