On a Lucky Find

Bought at Wal-Mart today:

From the Earth to the Moon, for thirteen dollars.

I’ve been wanting this series for years, but I couldn’t justify the rectal violation prices that it went for. I actually had to ask the guy, “Is this really thirteen dollars? I could go to Best Buy and pay seventy or eighty.” Even then, I went and found one of the price scan thingies, just to double check it.

Thirteen dollars.
