I've gotten a lot of great deals on things like lamps, small kitchen
appliances and gadgets and so on at thrift shops over the years. And I
adore second-hand book stores. I got a complete set of hilarious (!)
Southern Living cookbooks for $1 each. Why hilarious? Well, they were
printed in the 1970's. Anything that lists Jell-O as a primary ingredient
makes me laugh (or cry). I did get a pristine (hardback with plastic dust
cover) copy of Paul Prudhomme's 'Louisiana Cooking' at this same used book
store for $9.


Second hand book stores are a good part of the reason I want/need to add a
combination family room/library onto the house. We have boxes and bags of
books in the garage waiting for us to have shelf space to put them, and I've
been winnowing them out.
