Doesn't hurt that it was cheap! ;-) Inexpensive, I mean.
In the bargain section at Borders.
Man, I love that place. Coulda spent a lot more time there. But I'm too cheap to buy most books there - I know I can get 'em used for less.
These days I go to big bookstores to read the manga I'm not planning to buy. It's so much cheaper, after all.
And of course to check out books I'll buy when they're in paperback. I hope Dad has already got Harry Turtledove's "Days of Infamy", I want to read that over break. Alternate history about WW2 in the Pacific. The Japanese invade Hawaii and California.
