Aug. 9th, 2002 04:20 pmPart of my birthday present from my father and stepmother was money and the promise of a trip to a bookstore. Well, today I managed to make that two stores, and I got a lot of good junk.
The first place was a used bookstore.. with that bookstore smell.. and the best part about shopping in a real store instead of online--a bookstore kitty! He was very friendly and cute. He untied my father's shoe.
I found a book on bookbinding there.
Then we went to a local bookstore and I got two books from my wishlist: the new Get Fuzzy book (which I read before I did much else) and Fat Camp Commandos by Daniel Pinkwater. The clerk also helped me find some other Daniel Pinkwater novels--Mush, a Dog from Space, and two books in a series I've never heard of called The Werewolf Club. I couldn't get the Michael Moore book I want, but still, not a bad haul.
