Thrifted for $2.06

I got four vintage youth books for 39 cents each. I just love the illustration on the cover of The Mystery of the Singing Serpent—it’s awesome.

The other three books are Hardy Boys books. I did read the Hardy Boys when I was a kid—just not the original version from the 1950s. I liked the illustrations on these covers too.

I also got this fantastic Microwave and Infra-red Ovens Design Data Manual binder for 50 cents. It a very sturdy binder and the overall look feels very 1970s to me. I just love that Litton logo—simple and geometric.

The Complete Book of Home Freezing

I got The Complete Book of Home Freezing by Hazel Meyer. I just liked the line illustrations in it—so fun.

The second side: The Sun Saboteurs.

Next was the book: The Joy of Nothing.
