Offline Now I know Paul had an affair with more than just Francie Schwartz although to be fair, not to sound sick but The Beatles probably had sex with their fans backstage and in their hotel rooms all the time so it’s not like they were faithful.

I do like clever alt-realities.
Think I’ll have to have a reread of Gibson and Sterling’s brilliant The Difference Engine after finishing this one.

And then I move onto this beast which I got two years ago for Christmas and never got around to (oops).

I got that book for free a while back. My friend worked at a second hand book store before he left on his mission, and they had the book there. He told me about how he saw the book at his work, because he knows I’m a huge Beatles fan. Then about a month later, I visited him and he gave me the book. They were throwing it out at the store because no one was buying it, so he just grabbed it and got it for me as an early birthday present.

Lucky you, you don’t only get records for free but also the Anthology, that must be amazing!
Did you like it? I have already read the bios at the beginning and it’s great to see them all writing in different styles. It’s as if they were talking.

Pff, the only record I get for free are the ones that nobody buys or are in bad confition, and thus put on the free rack.
I haven’t read all of it, but I’ve read sections here and there. It’s a really nice book, and it has lots of pictures, and some great blurbs.

Ok, Ok, that was only a joke
I’m actually always looking forward to your posts in the albums-I-bought-section it’s really inspiring and who would want innocent little records to be thrown away only because they’re not in the best condition?

After dabbing up the spewed coffee from my keyboard (it’s been a while since I’ve Zigged), may I just say “Thank You!” for being in the right place at the right time, saving this book from such a horrible fate. The mind boggles at the thought of a book store tossing a book into the trash.

It’s so interesting though, because lots of them are in very good condition, like that classical set I got last week, and most of the ones that are in jackets. I think I part of the reason that they’re put up for free, is just that they’re not something that people will buy.

Well I the thanks goes to my friend for saving the book, but I suppose you could thank me for being a big Beatles fan, and being friends with someone who worked at the store, and making it known to that friend that I am a big Beatles fan, all which contributed to him saving the book.
As for why it was thrown out, the store is primarily a college text book store, however they sell lots of other things. They are really busy during the beginning of the semester, and then they die down a bit after the semester has begun. So the book getting thrown out could be a combination of the semester starting, and the cleaning out of old calendars, and older books that weren’t being sold. I know that wasn’t only book that was bring thrown out. It is also in slightly bad condition I suppose. The cover is peeling off the pages at the spine towards the back cover. However the damage is very minor. It is in excellent condition for it being a free book to my friend and me.

Mostly why records end up in the free section/at thrift stores is because vinyl records are not allowed to be recycled. So the only* other option is to donate them.
*I think, not sure.
