I'd need to be a gymnast to get into those positions

Got to search the the laundry cart filled with soft cover books today in Quincy, which is a rarity. Came across a pretty good haul too.
In the early 70s Ballantine put out an AMAZING WWII illustrated collection. I came across 4 of them today. 3 war leaders books; Churchill, Stauffenberg, and Student, and 1 Weapons book; the B29. I also got a neat book on Corpses, one on Japanese Gothic Tales, 2 early Matt Groening comics; Life in Hell and Work is Hell. And one of my favorite books growing up; Death Be Not Proud:


Didn't do too bad at Harrison today either.
Got Voivod's Killling Technology record:

Two NES games; WWF Wrestle Mania Steel Cage Challenge and Roundball 2-on-2 Challenge:

A few glasses:

Another example of a stein not taken care of. Unlike last time this one at least has the paint fully in tact. The obvious problem is the lid is missing, and what you can't really see is a few chips and the handle glued back on:

One of the kids at the harrison goodwill is the man. He's always asking what I'm looking for and saw that I bought the stein above, told me they got another one in and he had it behind the boutique area. Nothing super valuable or anything but it is still a nice piece.
