On the Shelf in the Back of the Store
The other day I stopped in at a rather disheveled comic book shop in upstate New York and walking into the lesser-trafficked back portion of the store, I saw they had shelving set aside for paperback and hardcover books. Most of the titles were Star Trek and Star Wars franchise stuff, but they had a surprisingly large collection of vintage sci-fi paperbacks from the 1960s and 1970s. I purchased the five books, pictured above, for $2 each.
I doubt any of them are memorable works, but still, it's always worth poking around those neglected little corners of the store where the owners stash the more obscure items in their inventory......
