Bought a 1981 Set of Encyclopedia Brittanica

Now that Covid restrictions have lifted, the local public library is finally reopening the coffee shop/used bookstore (most of the staff were retired/elderly volunteers). I was in there the other day and the coffee was good, but the selection of books in the used bookstore was fantastic, especially the DIY books that could be useful additions to a prepper's library. There was also a selection of movies on DVD and VHS, and all at reasonable prices. Y'all should check it out!

 

Here's another chapter to the Encyclopedia story. They were shipped in three boxes but only two ever arrived. The last six or eight books never showed, so I found the last eight for sale and bought them. Unfortunately they're a decade earlier, but there's a two book overlap.
So the info will be old, but it won't be as twisted as today's deranged garbage.

 

USPS lost a box of vintage how to books I sent my son,
still no compensation.

 

Of course. USPS gets worse daily.

 

In our area, they're completely garbage. You never know when your stuff will arrive. It's a crapshoot. I ordered a calendar one year, in November for the upcoming year.

It arrived in mid-May. No explanation offered, blank stares when you bring it up.
Typical government workers.

 

Recently, I purchased a couple of books for my prepper library, Readers Digest 'Crafts & Hobbies' and a Popular Science book 'The Complete Book of Power Tools'. Only about $5 each from the Public Library Book Store.
