04/23/2004: "Green Card Day"

One of the privileges, or duties, of the rummage volunteer is the opportunity to shop early, once 24 hours of service have been logged. I got my green card, to record purchases, about a week ago, and yesterday finally took some time out to browse. Some departments aren't open yet for browsing, but you can usually walk around the Book department without getting underfoot, and they are anxious to clear the shelf-space. My purchases were:
From Mexican Days to the Gold Rush; James W. Marshall and Edward G. Buffum.
Under the Lilacs; Louisa May Alcott.
New England Legends and Folkore; Samuel A. Drake.
Essays; Ralph Waldo Emerson.
Basil; Wilkie Collins.
Two Years Before the Mast; Richard Henry Dana.
Henry IV, Part I; Shakespeare.
Henry IV, Part II; Shakespeare.
The Theory of the Leisure Class; Thorstein Veblen.
The Best of Robert Benchley.
Born For Liberty; Sara M. Evans.
