400 pages of awesomeness

Check out this book I got on eBay for $10!

I know it's the 1996 version but for 10 bucks... Can't beat it!

Any other "must have books" you guys think I should be on the lookout for?

Great find! The Rolex Report 4th Ed. by John Brozek is also a great informational read, at least for vintages as it is now outdated (but scheduled to be updated as a "5th Ed." in 2016).

Great score. I bought a copy of that back in '96 or '97. Such a good book, haven't looked at it in years.
