That Tuesday where everything went right at the flea market
I found a first edition Vonnegut for $3 buried under a box of old VHS tapes at the Alameda Flea Market. Then the vendor threw in a vintage leather journal for free because I said I liked the smell of old books. Has anyone else had a perfect thrifting day where the universe just seemed to hand you ideas?

Got a buddy who found a signed copy of "Dune" at a garage sale for 50 cents. The lady selling it said it was her ex-husband's and she just wanted it gone. He didn't even realize it was signed until he got home and checked the inside flap. He called me freaking out because the guy had been dead like 30 years at that point. Still can't believe someone would just toss something like that, but I guess that's the whole magic of thrifting right?

Wait, how do you not check a book before you buy it?
