Winter, Spring, Summer, Faulkner
Someone told me I should reread "Barn Burning" and then kaboosh! I found this Collected Stories of William Faulkner for $4.50.
My hardcover copy is nothing special, a 21st printing. It was originally priced $8.95, which is why the clerk who priced this particular used copy thought it should sell for $4.50. Dividing numbers in half doesn't take a whole lot of imagination or training.
It's worth noting that new copies of the current paperback edition of Collected Stories of William Faulkner sell for $20. Right next to my $4.50 hardcover was a used paperback edition selling for $9.
I think I chose wisely.
