Rob, that is a pretty tremendous find, and congrats on the nice price. It is really funny in this life how one man's trash is another man's treasure. As someone that collects trash (old baseball cards) I find it amusing when trying to explain how it is I get enjoyment doing so to those not interested and it dawns on you that we (collectors) are all a strange bunch. We pay hundreds and sometimes thousands of dollars for items that were generally intended to thrown out. The book that you found is probably just as exciting to somebody out there as it would be for us to find a T206 Magie error or a nice Breisch-Williams HOFer in a $1.50 bin. Great story that reiterates what makes this (and other) areas of collecting fun and exciting.

PS--You made a big mistake telling your wife about the find. What she don't know... (just kiddin!)
