Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: One of my most favorite books was found at a used book store in the 50 cents bin!. The name of the book is "Season Of The Witch" by James Leo Herlihy!. It fell out of print in the early 80's and I've yet to meet one other person who has read that book!. It's a real shame!. It's an amazing book about a young woman, growing up and become a woman!. It helped shape me into the person I am today!.Www@QuestionHome@Com Yes , I do!. If seems likes the old forgotten ones, are usually the best! And believe or not, but I love it if the papers are crinkled and yellow!. It gives this awesome affect!. =PWww@QuestionHome@Com Yeah, I do!. Just the other day I went to a flea market and started looking through some books, looking at copyright dates!. One book said it was written in 1918! I was surprised that it was a 90 year old book!Www@QuestionHome@Com Absolutely!. The more beat up, the more likely I am to buy it!. I've found some real gems at thrift shops and flea markets that most people didn't even look twice at because of yellow pages and broken covers!.Www@QuestionHome@Com More than 40 years ago I found a pristine first edition, first printing of Edgar Rice Burrough's Tarzan series which helped me complete the entire set!.Www@QuestionHome@Com Yes!!!!! :D Old "forgotten" books are awesome!!!!!Www@QuestionHome@Com Sometimes I am delighted to find a volume published a long time back!.
