[Chaos-l] astro book cheap

[Michael Hrivnak]

I was browsing in Edward McKay yesterday, a used book store in Raleigh, and 
came across quite a bargain.

Star Trails- 50 Favorite Columns from Sky & Telescope - by David Levy

Edward McKay had 6 copies for $3/each.  I bought one, which leaves 5.

Looking around online, it seems that this isn't a very unique bargain.  
Apparently the publisher printed far more than could be sold, because these 
can be easily had for a few dollars plus shipping.  The copies I saw in Edward 
McKay fit that story.  They seem to have never actually been used, but have 
some shelf wear on their covers.

In any case, it's an interesting collection that I think is easily worth $3.  
It was originally priced at $25.  Next time you're in Raleigh, you might 
consider swinging by Edward McKay to grab a copy.  It also happens to be a 
great place to buy used books and used CDs.  The music collection is very 
impressive.  I bought 9 CDs yesterday, and stopped there only because I was in 
a hurry!
