While prowling the knickknack tables at Houston's annual Arcade Expo on Saturday, I found this:
The staples are rusty, the top of the cover has slight water staining (but, strangely, no wrinkling), and the page edges have turned "gamer-grubby brown" from extensive handling...but it's otherwise in dandy shape.
The 45-something guy in the X-Wing Pilot uniform and helmet who sold it to me clearly loved—and, even better, used—the book.
This is the best 50 cents I've ever spent. Score!
PS: Gamer-Grubby Brown needs to be an official Crayola color.
PURE WIN! Even better that you bought it from a gamer.
ReplyDeleteFist-pumping over here. Nice score.
ReplyDeleteDamn. I've been cruising for one of those forever. Good for you.
ReplyDeleteDamn shame he had to part with it, but congratulations for finding it.
ReplyDeleteFantastic!
