Score!

David, Tristan and I spent all day at the Vromans/Book Soup tent sale in Pasadena today. Above are the books that I bought (David already squirreled his away.)

I added up the cover price of my books and they were all on sale and then 75% off the sticker on the front. I got over $600 in books for $55. Not bad, huh?

The sad thing is, I saw many, many favorite books and titles I had purchased in the past. Books that no one was buying and some of them are among my most favorites. I did buy a couple of duplicates to gift to some friends who I know will appreciate them.

The good news is, I scored big time! Here's what I got:

Arabic Tattoos
Geduld und Gorillas
Icons of Graphic Design
You can find inspiration in everything
The Whimsical Works of David Weidman
Fashion Market II
99 Fears
Eva Hesse Studiowork
The Red Shoes
The Ultimate Illustration Collection
From the Depth of my Drawer
Maximalism
Urban Iran
Musikgraphics
Textura Valencia Street Art
Nudes

As I said above, I bought some to give as gifts. I bought some to cut up. Several have been on my wish list for some time now. Sometime soon I will be clearing out my bookshelves again to make space for these titles. I already have a little "to sell" pile started. I'll give a heads up when I'm ready!

The hardest thing now is trying to figure out which one to read first!
