So I stopped into my local Half-Price Books last week on my way to campus (I'm an English prof.) I pop in there about once a month to check out what kind of stuff is cycling through the SciFi and Fantasy sections (last month I picked up a nearly mint copy of the paperback Tales of the Dying Earth, and the time before that I picked up a Del Ray first edition paperback of The Lure of the Basilisk). They have a small RPG section which I also usually check, as I've managed to pick up quite few 1e hardbacks fairly cheaply in the past.
This time, though, I nearly had a heart attack. Sitting on the shelf were a single hardback copy each of the S&W Core Rules and the S&W Monster Book, both with the Mullen artwork and the Mythmere Games logo. Both were in mint condition--their spines hadn't even been cracked. Neither has the Black Blade logo, so I'm guessing these are from Lulu.com.
A little bit down the shelf were single hardback copies of Labyrinth Lord and the Labyrinth Lord Advanced Companion--also mint.
There was also a copy of Greyhawk Adventures--not mint, but in pretty decent shape.
Total price for my haul? $52.
(This post has been cross posted at both the S&W forums and the LL forms, so apologies if you think I'm being a bit too excited!)
