GOOD BUY at Abe's

Here's the deal....I collect old books. Some of them rare and some not so rare, just good reads. One of my favorites is a children's book with an illustration done by a very young Andy Warhol. And in that soup can band illustration...you guessed it....the famous can of tomato. I gave away my Durant signed first edition but held on to TE Lawrence...couldn't part with that! I still can't find any copies of the Longfellow for sale so mine must be worth at least a dollar or two. It's obviously rare.

Today I found a really grand piece of historical literature.

I don't know if the link will last because I've purchased the piece but here it is:

From Mimeo Revolution...and the youngish Flarfists would be tickled to know that the wheel was already invented hahaha. Those old mimeograph machines and what I wouldn't give for one now! Hot tip: buy one. They will be worth a fortune or at least as much as one of the old Pong games.
