Another good NES game haul. With thanks to one of the supervisors who asked me if I liked Nintendo games and showed me where they were. I would have totally overlooked them as I was on my way out of there.
The goods: Predator, Dragon Spirit The New Legend, Chip 'N Dale Rescue Rangers, Little Nemo Dream Master, Contra, Bart VS The Space Mutants, The Karate Kid, Track and Field, Track and Field II. Games which I have more than one: Tetris, Dr. Mario, Castlevania II and Super Mario Bros. 3:

Waaaay too many books to go through today and no place to put them. Chalk up another one to my Time Life World War II collection; The War in the Desert book #14 on the left and a duplicate copy of one I already have on the right:


and the Reservoir Dogs soundtrack:

Mimi has some good pots and pans

Davis Square

This place is getting back to its true form. Vinyl is neatly displayed, cds are piling up and books are making a comeback. Tons of electronics, this place is becoming a vcr graveyard. I decided not to buy an Atari 5200 because it looked a little beat up and they had like 5 or six genesis controllers which I left behind too. I must have spent 2 hours in there and all I came up with were these books:

Not that I'm complaining, I like all three of these, especially the middle one which adds to my Ballantine Illustrated History of World War II collection (8) out of 154.

Nice records here today; Billy Idol Rebel Yell, Alice Cooper School's Out and Killer:

Damnnn they all look like you

Its been rather slow as of late due to the fact from what I hear that because of the new Goodwill store opening soon on Commonwealth Ave in the BU area, most of the "good" donations are going to that store for its big grand opening. This store is going to be good....the first day, and after that all the over privileged BU hipster kids will gut that store of anything worth getting.

anyways...

Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits LP:


What an odd book to have; Atlas of Mars The 1:5,000,000 Map Series First Government printing 1979, complete with NASA foil stickers on inside back and front cover. And the other is another good Ripley's book :


Its hard to find glass with the gold rims still in tact, they are usually used often and washed in dishwashers. This one is in excellent shape, probably because its fairly new:

You're such a baby

Savers (West Roxbury)

Although I came out with nothing, I have to at least give my account since it was my first time here. First off, bad timing. It's school vacation week and it was a mad house in there. Lots of annoying kids running around like there was no tomorrow. For a place this big it sure had alot of useless things to buy. I suppose people come here for the cheap clothes, but by thrift store standards they are pretty expensive, with mens clothes tagged anywhere from 6.99 to $15 +. Everything just seemed broken. Book section was awful, mostly romance. Plenty of cd's but nothing really worth buying, same for vinyl. If you like Mitch Miller or Burl Ives you'll cream your pants off. I planned on getting a 3rd gen Sega Genesis controller because it is the only version I don't have but I was hardly going to wait in an airport size line to get it.

What a contrast to Savers. This place is immaculately clean ( I think I've said that before) and organized. So quiet in there you could really take your time and relax. There was really nothing in there that caught my eye except for this book:
