"Somedays you find diamonds, other days there is nothing but coal."
According to the guy who told me that today was a "coal day". I have to disagree though. Today I found four awesome children's books. I was looking for something to decorate my room with, and the illustrations for these are perfect!
Charley Harper illustrations!! I wanted to buy his big new book that Todd Oldham put together (link), but yowzers!! $156.80! I got my copy of The Giant Golden Book of Biology for $0.50.
I had never seen these books before, but there were a couple of them. They were written/illustrated by Richard Hefter. I bought the counting book.
I looked at buying Babar posters last year. I loved the books and cartoon as a kid. I got "Babar is King" for $0.50!
Richard Scarry books are some of my favorites. I really love cluttered children's books where you can stare at pages over and over again and find something new. I have more hanging, but this part is my favorite.
$2.00 worth of diamonds.

cory, i decided to search eBay for that Giant Golden Book of Biology. While i'm all for cutting up old books, i hope that wasn't a first edition copy, i found one that's going for $895!
