Little story about collectable books!! And, why they're collectable!!! (20 years ago!!)I came home one day to find three of my books on the edge of my kids club house ... why were they there?? To dry out... seems as if my wife Carol ... (I love her dearly!!) Wanted to take some bubbles out'ta the water bed.. and she used some of my books for ballest.... THE BED LEAKED!!! They were... Buxtons P.38 vol. 1 & 2 ... and Constanzos WOL proof marks... BUT, it gets better... they might have made it... but the back yard sprinklers came on just before I got home... I put my hand up on the edge of the clubhoues plateform.. and just felt mush!! There they were.. soaked beyond repair!! $150.00 worth the books... now at 10 times the amount... I value my wife more then I value the books....But, it was close! <img border="0" alt="[jumper]" title="" src="graemlins/jumper.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[jumper]" title="" src="graemlins/jumper.gif" /> Best to all...til...lat'r....GT <img border="0" alt="[jumper]" title="" src="graemlins/jumper.gif" />
