I understand the feeling, believe me, lol. I've been getting back into a favorite show of mine, that is no longer on TV, and instead of buying the seasons brand new I've been buying them off of Ebay/Half.com and Amazon. The only problem is I've received seasons 2 and 3, but haven't received season 1 yet, and it's driving me batty, lol. SHOULD be here any day, since it was supposedly shipped parcel post on June 30th from South Carolina...

I GOT IT! IT CAME TODAY! YAAAAAAAAY! like i said before, it was a 1974 printing, but the condition that its in makes it look like it was printed yesterday. the ONLY wear and tear on it is the pages are slightly tanned, and the previous owners name is in it, other than that, it looks perfect...the spine doesn't even have a crease in it! looks like someone read it maybe once and then left it...kinda sad, i think books should have some degree of wear to it to show how often it is read...this will remain pristine for a while, but sooner or later it will finally have a crease in the spine and dog-eared here and there, compliments of moi.
