BOOK SALE FINDS

  Here's a book find of another sort...  Ray Williams writes:
  "All my friends are aware of my addiction to collecting colonial
  coins.  There was one day at work when a co-worker came to
  me saying his church was having a book sale and there were a
  few books on coins.  He said he'd be willing to bring them in
  the next day if I might be interested.  I said sure...

  The next day came and John brought in a box with two
  outdated Red Books, a few auction catalogs  and a couple
  Numismatic News issues.  I offered him $10 for the group,
  looking at it as a charitable donation.  He said that the church
  would have only looked to get 25 Cents each for the material...

  Years later I became an EAC member, after reading that
  inspiring introduction that Sheldon wrote in Penny Whimsy.
  Years later I started collecting colonials and discovered that
  two of the auction catalogs I bought from the church sale
  were Early American Coppers sale catalogs, the valuable
  1975 and 1976 issues!   I figured someone upstairs was
  rewarding me for the donation!"
