Fair enough. Maybe I've just always been unlucky. There's never been anything much. I've grabbed a book here and there, but mostly it's five minutes of scanning the sci-fi table and a couple of hours of walking up and down the other tables looking for anything I'm interested in.

I've had far better finds in random op shops than anything I've ever found at bookfest. I found a box set of LotR still in shrink wrap (and I'm fairly certain it was the original wrap too.) It wasn't the exact edition I remember from my childhood, but it was published in '89, so it's right around that time. I think I paid 7.50 for it, and it's immaculate.
