While stumbling through the only used bookstore in Fairfield, IA I happened across a copy of Dean Koontz’s How To Write Bestselling Fiction, a first edition from 1981. Easily worth about $100 in the condition its in. (Book’s in excellent shape, the dust jacket has got a small tear.) My cost? $7!
I’ve also found a few other DK items while on this trip, including the paperback version of Odd Thomas released yesterday. I’ll be adding them to the book when I get back home and then will post more detailed information here.
