  1. How timely! Inspired by your example, a few weeks ago I went into a thrift sale of some sort and found a copy of the 15th edition. The price tag said $2 but they were having a sale: 50% off. Beautiful, at any price.

    1. I had an old copy that someone swiped years ago. I got this replacement in like new condition (sans some fading to the dust jacket) for free in a local Little Free Library.
