Estate Sale find!

An estate sale find in Austin!
A first edition book, in wonderful condition, but what attracted me was that the previous owner was a colonel of, I'm assuming, the Air Force. His name was written in the first page (in clear, exact print). This colonel was apparently the one that died, because the estate sale was selling all different kinds of plaques and framed documents. It was all very impressive. Though I paid more for this book than normal, I thought it was worth it!

The Compact History of the United States Air Force
Selling at $34.99!

Close up on the corner of the book. I'm not sure if it has any significance.
Anyone know?

Another estate sale find, except in Houston. I thought it was a cute book, and I probably paid $2 or something. I'm currently reading this book. The book is 26 mini biographies of famous men (Thomas Edison, George Westinghouse, James Whitcomb Riley, Robert Dollar, and Calvin Coolidge, to name a few) and the story of their childhoods. A children's book from 1932. I was thinking about selling it, if it isn't that great of a read.

A little bit nicked and worn, but in good, readable condition!

True Grit--The ending to the story

It's funny to think how last year I bought a book, made a new friend from that book (with whom I have kept correspondence with), learned how to sell that book, and now I finally sold that book at the end of November!
I was happy beyond words, cause I really didn't expect someone to buy it, and cause I bought the book for $2 and sold it for $55! I've just had to tell somebody.
Now I've been thinking of what else I could sell.

Does any one have any books that they're selling?

True Grit- The Real Thing

This was an estate sale find earlier this year. I had immediate plans (in my head, that is) to sell it! But, as you can tell, I have only recently put time and effort to accomplish this. Amusingly enough, I managed to have time to read it and review it within the first couple months I got it.

Unlike most books that I find, this one has no fade marks

Dust jacket has taken a great deal of the wear and tear.

The book itself is in great condition!

There is a interesting side-story about what I found in this book after purchasing it, but I'll save that for later!
