True ill tell her that.

Your boy must be doing OK in the acting game if he's getting residuals.

Not so many that he isn't still photocopying the check to hang on the wall.

"All in all, Professional Criminals of America is a gas" ... Apparently.

So it says. I'm reserving judgement.

two people actually -- the person who purchased it and the owner of the shop offering it for sale. It would not be allowed to take up space if it didn't have possible value.

Mrs Gut has had a few things published she gets a real buzz when she sees something in a second hand store, says at least it proves someone bought it and thought it was worth not tossing.

As a writer, I understand that viewpoint.

But it's short-sighted. With real books, a writer might become someone's favorite many years after the author is dead and gone and real books are passed down through generations of readers. With printed books, a writer has a sort of immortality.

If the writer got paid even one time for it, he did better than many writers ever do. However, my son is an actor and I know how excited he gets when a residual check arrives in the mail . . .

I don't like Kindle.

But I know a few Authors who love the thought of the death of "Real" books, because they don't get a Zac for the sale of their book secondhand.

Many Treasures to be found. And they can't do that with electronic books . . . So, while I love my Kindle, I do see drawbacks.

Our local Uni also has one every 2nd year, in fact I THINK it might be this year, must almost own the place by now with how much we've spent, fills the great hall of the Uni, runs for a week as the wheel in more boxes every day. They then spend the next two years gathering and sorting more donations.

They're great. I go the last day (a bag of books for $2) and load up on reading material for a year, then donate them back to the library for next year's sale.

This book, however, I discovered when I went before the sale to take some pictures for the story.

I did something I've never done before -- showed up just before the doors opened the first day of the sale, rushed straight to it and paid 2 whole dollars for it. :-)

I love those sales but I am an absolute book nut, or even just a nut.

It was in a warehouse with about 100,000 books for a sale that benefits our local library. Books are donated every year by local folks. Can't help wondering who had it in their library -- and what other interesting books are out there.

I think it'll be very interesting when I have time to dip into it.
