Vindication.

So today Miss B. and I went back to the Princeton Library Book Sale. All told, we spent $17.50 on books and got roped into buying a PL Bag for $1.00. Here's what we scored:

Andre Malraux's Metamorphosis of the Gods (First English Edition) $75-$86 (we paid $3) (This was part of the estate of Ambassador Anne Martindell)

Philip Roth's "My Life as a Man" (First Edition) $50-$65 (we paid $5.00)

John Updike's "Rabbit at Rest" (First Trade Edition) $60-$75 (we paid $1.50)

John Updike: "Bech is Back" (First Edition) $60 ($1.50)

(Prices are per alibris.com)

Unfortunately, I left behind Anne Tyler's "An Amature Marriage" (selling for $1.50) which goes for about $35... damn! But, all in all a nice addition to the collection of First Editions. I also got a Dan McCall book (a former creative writing professor of mine), the Oxford American Literature Companion, the 25th Anniversary of the New Yorker cartoon compendium, a book on Botticelli from 1903 and another book from the Cornell University Press.

Okay, so maybe we can deal with the folks from the PL. :)
