Yup, best things I've ever found were at Library Sales, before the used books sellers could find them.

Once found a full year bound volume of a Civil War era Police Gazette (edit: faulty memory, it was "Harpers Weekly Illustrated") for like a 100 bucks or so.

It was at a fairly big library, 1st night of large weekend sale known to all the local book and antique dealers. They had it set aside in a special "Antiquities" section of higher end books. I honestly couldn't understand how one of the book dealers there didn't grab it before I did, as I was hardly the first one there.
