I hold the station of "Deputy Lord High Abuser of the High-Slung Bottoms of Zob."
The current membership is one and we meet on the third Friday of any month with "K" in it.........

I have only one book of that ilk, but it's more than enough: Umberto Eco's Foucault's Pendulum

In the town where I live there is a HUGE charity store of two floors. Their stock is added to, every thirty minutes or so. The book section is to die for, in fact I don't know how they can manage to fill the shelves constantly, but they do. They sell them dirt cheap as they want to move the stock. Once I came across a set of books that I was familiar with. They cost me $39.00 the lot.  I listed them on EBay and sold them for $300.00. I buy most of my books there, and most, but not all, in the photo are about $5.00 average, and as it goes to charity, it's also kudos into my karma account as well.  ;)

I must say I didn't expect to see The Spanish Inquisition there on your shelf...

To tell the truth, most of my bookshelf space is occupied by rare (and sometimes stupidly-priced) European comics.  ;D

Hum... come to think of it, that's an interesting question: Have I wasted more on miniatures or comic books? Either way, I expect the answer is unhealthy.  o_o

The best of all 'secret' societies has to be this very one. We shall know each other by the flecks of paint upon our fingernails and the optivisor creases upon our brows...

Absolutely. Probably his strongest book (though I'm a big Eco fan, so I'm biased).

It takes a bit of time to get going, but once it does, hooo boy.
