She had a milk crate (I know how much more cliched can you get) full of aged yellow books with a “$5 a piece” sign taped to the side. Two years ago I found myself finally sharing in that experience when I ran across an elderly woman selling “junk” her sons had left in her basement. You always read about experiences people have where they go yard sale shopping and stumble across an ancient nerdy treasure that is either worth loads of money or is at least a Holy Grail of geek culture.
