How hard should I kick myself?

YOU should kick yourself very hard… THough I’ve done that type of thing, too! However, if itmakes you feel any better, I looked on Amazon and found some excellent prices on used single volumes (and even some new around $5. plus s/h).

Scroll down and click on used/new and see what you can discover so you don’t leave anymore bruises on yourself and just consider it a good learning experience!

I have an original set on my shelf that I got in the UK for a steal.  They would have cost me about $20 at the time.  I can say they are wonderful books and I have most everything Churchill has written, because he writes so eloquently.  Never mind, keep looking and I am sure we have all had the odd gem slip from our fingers – so don’t feel too bad. There are reasonable copies out their, just check around, but anytime you see writing by Churchill for $1 – BUY IT!!

We picked up that set at a library book sale a couple years ago. I’ve actually seen them available at other sales since then.

Don’t feel bad. I once hesitated and lost an old book at a library book sale. It was a president’s autobiography signed by that president (don’t recall which one). I thought maybe the signature was printed in the book and not really signed. But when I got home and looked at some other aged signatures I became convinced that it was an actual signature.

Oh yes, please don’t feel badly.  I’ve had to learn to ‘let go’ of those books I let get away and come back to where the real treasure is.  Hope you are enjoying all your other great finds though.
