A Quest

 Have you ever been on a quest for an older book?

I know, I know the internet has changed the proverbial book search. It just so happens I know readers that are or were on a book quest. They scour used book stores. They try local library book sales. It can be like a hobby to find this unicorn. More time spent on the search the more rewarding it will be once it is found. 

One person who enjoyed this challenge mentioned it to the wrong person. This friend said,” I can find it for you.”

He did. It was online and in the mail several days later. I can tell you it was quite a letdown for someone else to find it. The friend was trying to be helpful of course.

Sometimes online will only have a first edition. That may not be in our budget. The search continues.
