Now that’s nice

Serendipity took me into the used bookstore today. It’s one floor up at the mall from a satellite post office where I’d gone to mail a couple of letters that were too heavy for ordinary stamps.

I’m wandering up and down the aisle in the SF section and what do I see but “Shadow of Freedom”, the latest Honor Harrington universe novel from David Weber. It was published in March of last year, but my library didn’t get a copy until several months ago, and I was late to the “I wanna read that” queue, so there are still seven or eight people ahead of me waiting to read the library’s only copy.

Well. I snapped that puppy right up, particularly when I realized that the bookstore was selling a $25 hardcover for $1.
