Since joining bookbub,I have bought a great many sci/fantasy books.Most of them were very cheap and they have proved to be a mixed bag of talent.
I have been reading prodigiously now for weeks.
At the moment,I am reading a trilogy by Simon Hawke.
It is called The Tribe of One.
It is definitely one of the best in the bunch so far.There is an unusual hero,who has multiple personalities,hence the title.
It is an epic story of the hero's quest to find out about his roots.He is half elf and half halfling. Since both peoples are enemies,how our hero came to be born,then cast out, is a mystery.Add magic and dragons to this strange world and you have all the necessary ingredients for a fantasy adventure.
I am finding it very entertaining.I wonder if anyone else has come across books by Simon Hawke? I know he has written other books.

I read two or three of those. As with most unending series, I soon quit.

Muaaha, the art of bookscouting will never die. Lightning strikes, the swag is out there, it all pays off in the long run. I allus find stuff... so a copy of Grays Anatomy 1862 was not such a big hairy deal, tho tis worth something even in rough condition... but, this copy belonged to a doctor - the coroner as it turns out, of the famed Black Donnelly case. Its inscribed by hand, and has his book plate, date and location and whatnot. Now to find a very rich doctor with an obsession for crime cases.
I found this tome on the sidewalk, along with some art books - Escher and some TimeLife Rembrandt and Van Gogh and the usual stuff. And some Archie comics.

Bought these two for 1$ each. Unread 1st editions.

Great find @K. Riehl!

Book store in town is having a liquidation sale so I decided to invest $10 in my future:



The first sentence of Miriam Allen deFord's introduction is rather astonishing: "I believe
it was Sam Moskowitz who praised Caves Of Steel, by Frederik Pohl and the late Cyril Kornbluth, for 'accomplishing the impossible by successfully combining detective stories with science fiction.'"

I should imagine Asimov might have been a bit miffed! Especially as he was also featured!

During a vacation in the southwestern corner of North Carolina, we visited a few used bookstores. Among other stuff, I picked up these books.
