National Geographic

Yesterday the public library held a book sale, at which there was quite alot of crap, but also a couple of gems. I picked up a copy of Darwin's "On the Oriin of Species" and "The Descent of Man" for a dollar as well as the major works of Levoisier and Faraday and some other chemist who's name I can't remember for another dollar. I also picked up a whole bunch of old national geographic magazines. Unfortunately they didn't have anything from 1919 (the year I really want because it contains an article by on Barnum Brown) but they did have 1920, 1921, 1922 and 1923. Despite this wide range of years, none of them were complete. There was another collector there competing with me for posession. As a result I got a little over half of each of the above mentioned years. I normally wouldn't have wasted my time on National Geographics that don't have a Paleo article but for $1 each, it seemed like too good of an offer to pass up. The Wee book in in Edmonton near where I used to live offered National Geographics from the 1920's for $32 CAD each, so I feel that I got a really good deal. Even if I can only sell them for $10 USD each, I'm still making $270 USD profit on a $30 investment. If anyone would like to buy some old Nat Geo's off me for $10 a piece, I'd be more than happy to sell. Otherwise, I'll just be mailing them back to California to join the rest of the Gelnaw Library and Museum.
Just as a side note, I'm at the public library and the guy sitting next to me at the computers is watching copious amounts of gay porn. I reallize that it's gay pride week or month or whatever, but that is just rediculous.
