[Boatanchors] DO YOU REMEMBER?

[Dan Ferguson]

There's lots of books available for sale in various places on the web for absurd prices. My Dad 
wrote a book a few decades ago on the Bible & the Stars. I've seen it priced at one of Amazon's 
affiliates for almost $400.  It would be nice if I could get that for the numerous NIB copies I 
have, but it ain't gonna happen.
