122924 • Thrift Store Finds

Another week of great finds! I had to leave some behind for various reasons, mostly price and lack of room for new books. But all of these are just great! Behind the Curtain is similar to another book I’ve read that was published around the same time, by another journalist except this one was trying to stay ahead of the Nazi advance, and the one in this book is describing how the Iron Curtain is from behind it. I could go on about each book here, but suffice to say, they all look to be great reading and good additions to my library. The most expensive books were only three dollars, at the ARC where for a while the standard for hardbacks had changed to nine, before the half-off Saturday discount. Most of these here were $1.50-$2.00. One or two of these are only a few years old, and we all know how expensive brand-new hardbacks are!

Report From Ground Zero • I sampled a few paragraphs from this before I bought it, and he was describing what it was like to find someone’s foot and leg bone, and what they did with it. We shouldn’t forget these things, all most people remember or know is the sight of the buildings burning, but there is so much more that happened.
