I love this one:
Customer: Do you stock Nigella Lawson under 'Sex' or 'Cookery'?
Bookseller: It's a tough call, isn't it?

Couple more from Lifeline - adding them all up, it wasn't a bad event after all: Don't know why I got this for $5:  These for $2 each:   Book of essays:  This for $3:  And this for $2 - it's hard to take Richard O'Sullivan seriously after Man about the house and Robin's Nest:  Some interesting comics, stories and articles in it:  |

Love these, especially Ghosts 2 and that juicy looking Witchcraft item (yes, I realize I'm quite predictable).
I guess Return of the Jedi might be valuable as a shop item you can price high if it's scarce. It's odd, I very much enjoyed the original 3 Star Wars films. For some reason, when the sequels started rolling out in the 1990s, even though I avoided going to see the films, I quickly became quite disenchanted with Star Bores.
Anyhow the cover is quite attractive! Excellent finds!

I never liked the third movie. The script was a disappointment and not very original, I loathed the Ewoks and hated the saccharine end. The phoned in performances, the smug self-awareness of the stars. They were not acting, they were role-playing.
Compared to the later "prequels" it was of course a masterwork. I can watch those only on mute. The dialogue is a horror, the plot is inane (even for a bargain basement space opera).

I loved Return of the Jedi, myself. Especially the Ewoks.  |

I always skipped those movie adaptions. Not my thing.

That's the edition of Edge of Running Water I have - well worth $2! I have the 1980 Del Rey edition, but it's a solid novel either way. |
