Free Books!

[Pigslilspaz]

Who else here can never go past a shelf at a library/bookstore giving away old books for free without taking some? Semester just started at college so the rolled out some of the books taken off of circulation.

What I got:
March to Calumny - Albert Biderman
The Compact History of the Korean War - Harry Middleton
The Battle of Cassino - Fred Majdalany
The Courageous and the Proud - Samuel Vance

Lucked out, they are all hardcovers and all are on topics I really haven't learned much on (Korean War, Race struggle in Vietnam, and the Italian campaign)

I'm gonna need a bigger bookshelf  .

Sounds like some good finds. Library sales I come across seldom have stuff that interesting!

And yeah, books and I get along just fine...would be scary if had unlimited space. Now my rule is that I only want to own books that A) I'm likely to read more than once; B) are so esoteric that I can't get them from a library (and we're part of a big library exchange system); or C) are outright classics.

Not sure how many times I've read Franks' Guadalcanal, but that's a good example.
