Hi Fella's,
At my local library, they had a hard back copy of Elmer Keith's "Hell, I Was There" that I've taken out 6 times in the last 4 yrs. The binding was unfortunately broke in 3 places. I knew I was the only person to check this book out over the last 4 yrs., so I asked one of the ladies there that I know, if I might be able to buy the book since I was the only one reading it and its binding was broke. I asked them if they would be willing to sell it to me and if so I let them set the price. Other than the binding problem, the book was VERY CLEAN WITH NO MILDEW ODOR. The lady went into the back to the librarian for a few minutes, which seemed like an hour, came back and said its yours for $15.00 !!!!!!!!!!!!! I THEN ALMOST THREW MY ARM OUT OF PLACE REACHING BACK FOR MY WALLET ! When I got home I got out my Elmers Glue & soaked down the sections that were ripped out & rapped it with heavy rubber bands & let dry for 3 days. I'm happy to report that I now have a very nice copy of "Hell, I Was There" with a newly repaired binding ! So Guys, check your library's & ask. You might also be pleasantly surprised.
