Going to resale shops is like an archeologist at a dig, or maybe a pirate searching for treasure. A treasure is just what Main House First Lady Mom found.Main House President Dad and Mom dropped off some items at Habitat for Humanity. While there, they looked around. Mom started with the books. Many titles aren't worth a second glance; however, Mom gave a second glance at the hardback collection of Dickens books she found. She remained calm.
Since she knew that 15 books could add up, even at Habitat, she chose two: David Copperfield and Nicholas Nikaby. The lady at the register said, "Fifty-four cents." Mom then wanted all of them. The lady said that she'd give us a deal of $5 for the entire set. After buying them, Mom figured that it would have been a better deal if she had sent residents in one at a time for two books each. No complaints from Mom, who can not find the published date of them.
