had you asked for these particular titles? just curious. Did you have to tip off the gift buyers?

Nopes..basically all the books were gifts from one person who knew what books I already owned. And the collection is quiet eclectic.

The same book I purchased at the library's sale cart. Funny coincidence.

That is funny! What are the odds? I've learned to check the cart every time. This is a smalltown library, and you never know what they'll decide they don't have room for, or someone will donate for sale. Just before Christmas they culled probably thirty old VHS movies from their collection, and we brought home a number of family favorites. I'm still eyeing the travelog films...
