this is in relation to
COSTS and OLDNESS
PAPERBACK books
they were like
ninety five cents
for small ones
RANGING UP
to two twenty five
for one of those
GIANT sagas
this is standard paperback size
I don't think they had
"quality" paperback size yet
I am not even
SURE
how much a STANDARD
size paperback
GOES for anymore
EVERYTHING
SEEMS
to be OVERSIZED
I just went and looked around
MOST of them
don't qualify
BECAUSE they are hardback or not recently purchased, etc
I found one
seventeen ninety five
when I started working
minimum wage was
three thirty five
and now
is it seven fifty
or is it still
seven twenty five
SEVEN TWENTY FIVE
for
perspective
