I can't even imagine. You must be made...Sheri,<br />I can't even imagine. You must be made of stronger stuff than I. Not only dealing with the evil book lady, but losing half your collection. Much of my childhood was tossed in the bin when my Mom moved from her house and I wasn't there to salvage anything. That's life...You can't take it with you, I guess. It just piles up and piles up and the next thing you know, you're featured on Hoarders.<br />At least we still have the memories!<br />SteveAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13101722769411384962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12380553.post-23988553978138091322016-11-28T23:23:57.194-05:002016-11-28T23:23:57.194-05:00Count me among those who had this experience with...Count me among those who had this experience with the Concordance! Jeez, I had to get my brother to take me downtown to the only bookstore that did special ordering, but first I had to get the reference librarian's help finding the ISBN at the public library because the old lady at the bookstore was the kind of stickler who wouldn't look up these things by title (throwing up barriers was her way of determining if you were serious). Then I had to put down half the price at order because Bookstore Lady was errrrr, um, well . . . you know. Every book, every periodical I wanted, I had to jump through hoops and run through fire . . . boy, when that Concordance came, I lived it. Lost it in a cross-country move in 1999, along with a collection of Starlog and Cinefantastique issues.

Received as (I believe) a Christmas gift, that book stayed with me wherever I went, was read at every chance, and eventually fell apart due to continued use. I'd held on to the copy even though it was only just held together by a prayer, and eventually found another one in near-mint condition at a local used bookstore, for only 5 bucks!! I've seen copies at Amazon for $50 or more.<br />Those were truly great days. Thank You for sharing your stories.<br />SteveAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13101722769411384962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12380553.post-84518993208572397132016-11-28T17:42:33.783-05:002016-11-28T17:42:33.783-05:00John wonderful thoughts on your receiving the gift...John wonderful thoughts on your receiving the gift of Star Trek Compendium. Reading this brings back fond memories from my boyhood, back then too, receiving other Star Trek publications.<br /><br />SGBSGBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07137406272001346149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12380553.post-42939362342786156672016-11-28T16:32:27.022-05:002016-11-28T16:32:27.022-05:00I had much the same experience with Bjo Trimble...I had much the same experience with Bjo Trimble's STAR TREK CONCORDANCE in '76.Christopher Millshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15978811373546110421noreply@blogger.com
