Neat book find.

Yesterday when I stopped in at my favorite used book store (I don't see paying for new, if I can help it) I found "Old Irish & Highland Dress" by H. F. McClintock. Mycopy was published in 1950 and I got it for $2.00

It's a really good book for those interested in the history of how the real old-timers dressed.

£125.00!

Can't be the same book. I don't have that kind of luck. I will, however do some more intense research later on today.

That £125.00 book, must be a signed first edition or something. I wonder if the author is still alive? That might have something to do with it.

Don't be too shocked. In a used bookstore I once came across a first edition printing of Ray Bradbury's Golden Apples of the Sun collection of short stories for 50 cents. At the time I bought it, it was worth about $50. And once I got about $5000 worth of old comics for the whopping total of a dime. Sometimes folks just don't realize what they have.
