Tips for Buying Used book: part two
Here the link for part one if you haven't read it.
Sometimes book get shift around at book sales. Its either by a volunteer that doesn't know what age category a book belongs to. I don't blame them it not their felt, because a lot of the volunteers are elderly and they’re not going to keep up with all these different books. Plus, I personally believe a lot of books overlap in age appeal.

Tips for Buying Used Books: part one
I have written a post on why you should buy books used. Now I will be writing tips for buying books used. To make things clear, these tips will be directed to used books sales. That includes Friends of the Library, church book sales, School book sales (both private and public), abandon apartment store in a mall (Yes, I have seen it all), and other places where an organization can temporally set up shop to sell used books.
That does not include buying used books online and in used bookstores. I do buy books from these places but, I will not be talking about them in this post.

The Lost Civilization Enigma
Author: Philip Coppens
Genre: Non-fiction
Review: This is a well research book that provides stories of archaeological finds and the dogma that archaeologist face from their own science community. Most of the discoveries that are talk about in this book have recently been accepted.
A lot if not all of these stories really make you sit and
think, how far back does history of civilization really go?
Personally, I do have my own theories. I think we lost a lot
of ancient history and were just re-discovering it.

Roses are blue octopi are cool I don't like modern poetry
Roses are blue octopi are cool
modern poetry sucks like the suckers on an octopus arms
an octopus is all squishy with no bones
flowers bath in the sun
along comes the sweet rhythm of the breeze
my feet come stumping on those flowers
stump, stump, stump
modern poetry is the suckers on an octopus's arms
