No doubt a small bookstore in NYC.\n<\/li>\n<li>A Mike Shayne novel, <em>This Is It, Michael Shayne<\/em>, that looks to be part of the Mike Shayne book club.  Like I need more book club editions to collect.\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Et cetera.<\/p>\n<p>I volunteered at this fair on Friday night and saw some interesting things come through.  Someone bought a couple Classics Club editions, but they did not pay at my table, so I could not see what they bought.  I&#8217;m so deep into those now that the titles have to be far into the series for me to lack them.  A woman also got a copy of Philip K. Dick&#8217;s <em>Through a Scanner Darkly<\/em>, and I commented on how hard it is to find Philip K. Dick books at book fairs.<\/p>\n<p>I notice as I post this that this represents the 68th photo of book fair purchases I&#8217;ve put up.
