And the new Candlekeep is...
THE FLEA MARKET!!!!
Yes, that's right. My uncle took me there on Saturday and I found a warehouse that had LOADS of books. And I mean LOADS. I could hardly fit in the aisles.
Anyhoot, I found a CACHE of old FR books. LOTS. TSR versions. There were RAS ones, a couple EC, a couple Harpers and many others. A lot of them I already owned, but I did find a few that I'd been looking for, including Azure Bonds, which I have the two sequals to. I was very happy.
Anyway, these are the books that I found:
1. Azure Bonds-- Jeff Grubb and Kate Novak (Book 1 of Finder's Stone Trilogy)
2. The Parched Sea-- Troy Denning (Book 1 of Harpers)
3. Prophet of Moonshae-- Douglas Niles (Book 1 of Druidhome Trilogy)
4. The Coral Kingdom-- Douglas Niles (Book 2 of Druidhome Trilogy)
5. Horselords-- David Cook (Book 1 of Empires Trilogy)
6. Dragonwall-- Troy Denning (Book 2 of Empires Trilogy)
Any comments? |

Can find many fine deals via your scyring pools if you visit Alibris.com and Half.com. |

I wish we had one of those around here... My sister in Texas lives near one, and she shops there frequently. |

Yeah. Unfortunately, I've only run into a few of those. One I found while going to a festival near the coast. When I entered, I immediately asked the clerk at the desk, "Where's the fantasy and scifi section?"  They led me all the way to the back room. I caught my breath. Three bookshelves, expanding across more than half the room and more than eleven shelves high and six feet across were loaded with FR books.  I almost had a heart attack. |

I used to hit a local used bookstore all the time, but eventually I started buying all my novels new -- the used bookstore was nice, but it was too hit-or-miss for me.
Some WotC products I prefer to get from eBay, because it's usually a lot cheaper. |

I actually found my copy of Evermeet for $5 (USD) at a one-time-only overstock sale I happened to pass by. Hardback, mint condition (sadly, not leatherback  ).

No, sorry, Alaundo. The only EC books there were Tangles Webs and Elfsong, I believe. Sorry. |

My first 2 trilogies were obtained from charity shops- thrift shops in the USA I think. And they were enough to get me hooked. So hooray to people stupid enough to get rid of FR novels |
