Good finds nedwreck.
Even on eBay, you might not get that kind of deal. Sometimes you can though.:hmm:
I saw an unopened model of the Titanic at a yard sale for $10 CDN this summer - maybe I should have bought it.
But I am usually more interested in WWII-era shipping anyway.
At my local library, I have often found many good deals on WWII books (mostly paperbacks):
The Destroyer Killer (Edwin P. Hoyt) - 10 cents
Bowfin (Edwin P. Hoyt) - 10 cents
The Carrier War (Edwin P. Hoyt) - 10 cents
McCambell's Heroes (Edwin P. Hoyt) - 10 cents
The Big E (Edward P. Stafford) - 10 cents
Japan's War (John Toland) - 10 cents
Midway: The Battle That Doomed Japan - 10 cents
Plus about 50-60 others on different topics. And some hardcover ones for 50 cents each, such as an original 1942 edition of William Shirer's (US ambassador to Germany) memoirs and a 1948 edition of Henry Stimson's (Secretary of State and Defense at various points in time) memoirs.
