cleaned out the attic, because there on the shelves were
hundreds of 50's paperbacks in near mint condition: Gold
Medal, Dell, Bantam, etc. All of them hardboiled
I sure wish *someday* I'd have a day like that at the
Goodwill. I've been dropping in occassionally for years and,
without fail, each and every time I go there I find myself
confronted with piles of romance novels, old Ludlums,
religious tomes and Dr. Laura cast-offs. A larger Goodwill,
it still never fails to disappoint and depress.
...but hardboiled hope burns eternal.
