Perhaps the best used bookstore find ever
Today at the Powell's in Hyde Park, I saw a little boxed set off three volumes of Nietzsche, covering about the same percentage of Nietzsche's works as the Kaufmann Portable Nietzsche/Basic Writings difecta, perhaps more, in German, for only $19.95. It actually has many things that Kaufmann didn't include in his two volumes, like The Gay Science, and it doesn't include Genealogy of Morals, which is good from my perspective since I already have a German text of that. Overall, it was truly a grace-filled moment.What is your best used bookstore find? I know that there are some readers with an even worse book-buying addiction than I have, so someone must have outdone me at some point.
