********************* Certain used book stores have lots of
books I drool over, but there's a special satisfaction in
sifting through all the flotsam and jetsam and finding
something nice for cheap at the thrift stores. Next week I'll
make my annual pilgrimage to the Indianapolis thrift stores
to try my luck.
Congratulations on the Thompson find.
