Free Books, Logan Square

May 28, 2012

Walking home after an afternoon coffee, Liz and I came across a big box of free books. As we were looking through the box, the owner actually came out with the bin on the left, and invited us to root through them all. There were actually several nice books to be had (a copy of One Hundred Years of Solitude, and what looked to be a very early paperback edition of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory).

We didn’t take anything, though in hindsight I’m kind of regretting not picking up that copy of CATCF. Looking at the Wikipedia entry, it may have been a first edition.

What made me pull out my camera was this note on the side. It had me laughing for a solid minute.
