Uh.. wow. Okay, so according to the official author's website for one of my favorite authors, George R. R. Martin, I think my mother may have actually picked up one of his original edition books, at a garage sale. I think she paid around $10 for it. According to his website, if that's the correct edition(I'd have to get back to Illinois to check the bloody thing), it's worth somewhere in the $200-$600 range.
For a retired library book.
If that's correct, that'd be a rather nice surprise. Still would like to find editions of Tolkien from back when the books were black hardcover with the Eye of Sauron picked out in metallic thread.
Ok, back to classes and work for said classes.
