Out of fashion or in demand ?

One of the dorky reasons I like buying used books. Sometimes they come from libraries, barely used, with the old slot for checkout cards. Sometimes they have bookmarks or a previous owner’s notes in them.

I intended to spend the day at home today, but I just couldn't shake off how groggy I felt even after breakfast and being awake for a few hours. So I decided to go get lunch outside and have a small adventure...where I promptly ended up at a quaint little secondhand bookstore.

Most of the items were in clear bins that were laid out on the ground in front of the shop so it was a bit hard for me with my crummy knees and currently crummy neck, but the owner was incredibly kind and I ended up finding a few books I wanted to buy. I always try to buy something when I go to an independently owned shop, so I'm really happy I managed to find some things. I only paid 650 yen too--brand new these books would have been closer to 3,000 yen these days!

The two completely unrelated books I bought cheap at a used bookstore in New Haven this past weekend (Grey Matter books). Heard of Jewish Public Culture but never heard of Activist Archives. It looks great.

Went to a recycled trees event yesterday. #UsedBooks #BuyLocal #SupportLocal #YQL

we can geister-krimi and we can zukunftsroman! it's again Jo Voigt, this time by the pen name of Gaston Gevé.
and the subtitle precedes the intro of the famous 'raumpatrouille orion', doesn't it?

and again: i listened to an old audio play, Schock (you might translate to shock), a clever thriller, only to find out, that the writer Jo Voigt spent decades of years and dozens of aliases on pulp fiction.
for example 'misfortune in the sign of the cancer'

Jag minns fortfarande kicken när Nova Science Fiction dök upp i tidningshyllorna. Jag var 16 år och köpte vartenda nummer de första åren. Magasinet blev rätt kortlivat förstås (den senare inkarnationen i pocketformat fastnade jag aldrig för). Samlingen försvann nånstans längs vägen men nu hittade jag de fyra första numren hos ett antikvariat. Det här ska bli kul. #sciencefiction #scifi #reading #usedbooks #Antikvariat

One week in the UK...I've cut myself off!
