Daniel,

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll keep an eye out for them when I cruise the yard sales on Saturday.

You know, it's ironic that one of my major clients is a collectible book store, and I have several shelves and boxes full of great classic books that I've picked up at the yard sales, many of which are collectible -- and yet I've read very few of them.

A few that I've managed to dive into include Churchill's 6-volume "The Second World War", William Manchester's "The Death of a President", and Clancy's
"The Hunt for Red October". I've still got a 17-volume Agatha Christie set calling out to me from the bookshelf just to my left ....
