Shit... I found all of these books the other day in a dumpster... one dating back to 1902.... Title In The Days Of Giants
Author Abbie Farwell Brown
Publication date-1902...

I just found out it is worth upwards of $2,000 dollars.... of course the one I found is a little weatherbeaten.... so it is worth only about a grand.... shit i am on my way to do a search for the rest of them...

has anyone else found anything worthwhile in Dumpsters???

We should all go down to SLC and search the dumpsters, it'll be just like the days of the 49ers except this historical period in history would be synonomous with the first fall of a Mormon temple.

Most of my older computer equipment and auxiliary hardware comes from the big dump we had... Saturdays old metal was gathered at a central location, and I always tried to hassle for semi-broken TV's and comps. And fix them at home, then sell them as second-hand equipment...

* Also does electronics, apart from comps

... Time has no bearing...
...when the whiteout begins...

Don't come after me...
