Today’s thrift store adventures can pretty much be summed up in one short sentence. “Six thrift stores, one book.” (Actually, I guess that isn’t even a sentence.)

The day’s lone purchase came at St. Vincent de Paul where I spent $.50 for “Blessing In Disguise”, book six in Lauraine Snelling’s “Red River Of The North Series”. It has found a place on the book shelf along with book one, two, three, and four from the same series. When I find book five they will be listed on eBay in the auction format.

This is Lauraine Snelling’s most popular series and the complete six book set will regularly bring between $30 and $45, sometimes a little more, on eBay.

For a minute I thought I’d found a mini textbook gold mine at the Salvation Army store. As I walked into the book section I could see a shelf of brand new looking textbooks that hadn’t been there yesterday.

Unfortunately, while they were in Like New condition, they were all from the period between 1997 and 1999. They were all on the same basic subject so I’m guessing one of the professors at the University here must have decided to clean out his office and donated them.
