Rojo Pedro Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 I got my paperback copy of DRM for $8.50 at a used book store in Willcox AZ (boyhood home of Rex Allen and yours truly) I too love the illustrations, everyone looks so cheerful. I do have some trouble trying to figure out whats goin on in them however Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott NC Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 I am going to spend a little more time looking in the used book stores before ordering one. The stores around here leave a bit to be desired, but every now and then I find a gem. Some stores just throw them on the shelf in no particular order so you have to sift through the rubbish. Last month I found an original copy of American Blacksmithing for cheap. It's fun browsing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 Hitting used bookstores is always a highlight of our vacation trips; I still remember finding my facsimile copy of Moxon's "Mechanick Exercises" in the basement of a used bookstore in Van Buren AR. Also when going on international trips I try to learn the correct phrases for "Do you have any books on blacksmithing or metalworking?" Ran into some great finds in German Fleamarkets that way.

Scott NC Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 There was a store in the Old Market in Omaha called "The Antiquarian" and I will tell you what, if you love old books of any kind, you had better leave your credit card at home. IIRC they had study tables where you could bring a pile of books and study them and see if you wanted to buy. Knowledgeble staff too. I think it is no longer. Wish I had a way, way back mochine.
