I went to a neat bookstore in Maryland today and took a few pics to share...
INSANE MISSION FAIL
4 copies of 'Alien' but not a single copy of 'Aliens'.
Here are some items I saw but did NOT buy:
TMNT MOVIE BOOK (1989)
I didn't buy this but figured I'd post it to infuriate some diehard TMNT fans I know who will no doubt never understand why I didn't purchase this. Well, the main reason why I didn't was they were asking for $10. 
SILVER HAWKS Coloring Book.
this will no doubt piss of people for not buying.
THE WALKING DEAD COMPENDIUMS VOL 1 and 2
On sale for $30 each... and they were "Buy 1 Get 1 FREE"
I did not buy, but was tempted.
MR T COLORING & ACTIVITY BOOK
Love that it was displayed in a used National Enquirer rack!
THE DIRTY OLD MAD
GIJOE Field Manual
some shots of the interior:
and now for the stuff I DID buy:
STAR TREK: THE LOST YEARS HC
and THE KLINGON DICTIONARY
($1 each)
Trade paperbacks were Buy 2 Get 2 FREE, and these books were already reduced to $5 each. So for $10 I got:
PROPHET BOOK 1,
FANTASTIC FOUR: WALT SIMONSON VOL 1,
and Jim Starlin's BREED: BOOK II and III
(I already have Book 1 from the 90s).
We then stumbled upon another little used bookstore we had never been too before and they had several long boxes with all comics priced at 25-cents each! OMG an actual 25-Cent Bin still in existence! It was full of CRAP, but also some gems I picked up at a quarter a piece!!!
BATMAN #417-420
"Ten Nights of the Beast" storyline
AQUAMAN #2 and 3
Blue Costume mini-series
(already had #1, now need #4)
THE 'NAM #5-11
(already have #1... now I need to complete the run)
BLOODSHOT (vol 1) #1-2, 4-6, 8-14
CAPTAIN AMERICA #357-359
"Bloodstone" Part 1-3. Classic 80s Cap Adventure!
DOOM PATROL #1-17
Arcudi & Eng Huat's really fun series!
PITT #11-14
I needed the Full Bleed issues, from 11 on.
X-O MANOWAR (vol 2) #15-19, 21
I've fallen behind on my X-O, and needed #15+
ARCHER & ARMSTRONG (vol 1) #4, 6, 10
Marvel's GIJOE #145!!!!
Hail Cobra!!!

I remember seeing Ten Nights Of The Beast but never actually reading it. Is it any good? That's one of those stories I've wanted to check out forever.
Awesome scores!!!
Damn, I used to have that field manual. Cool.
You got the Walt Simonson FF trade? Aw man, his run on that book was incredible. I have very fond memories of that book, that time. Good score, sir!
I have that Turtles activity book from when I was a kid. Also the Klingon Dictionary. I think they have a new one out that's better. I think.
Wowzer, Jim! It looks like you found a nice spot! Lots of gems there!
.. doesn't having a stack of alien technically pluralize them? 1 failed alien. 4 awesome aliens? (i have a white sharpie you could borrow that would take care of the aesthetics)
