"I had “Antinomy.” Paperback. In the early 80s, when I was still in high school." It's supposedly available on Amazon, for an outrageous price.

"This is the only book to be remaindered before it got on the shelves. The story is in Melancholy Elephants, which is this book with some extra stories, so if you can't fnd this one. grab Elephants. A truly mind altering experience from word one."

I sold everything for 1/10 of cover price when my parents moved to DC and said they weren’t taking the books I’d left in the attic. 1987, I think.

I used to have a number of books that are now no longer in print. I am trying to rebuild my collection but I am hampered by finances and my own cheapskate nature.
However I have found estate sales to be a wonderful source of cheap and old books.
I found a nice first edition of "Air Service Boys Over the Atlantic" for a dollar. I love things like that!
