Chamblin tried to rip me today

Today Dan and I went to Chamblin Bookmine. I got some books that can be described in no other way than "Mighty." They were mostly anthologies on Old English verse, of which I am a huge fan. Anyhow, I was looking through the adventure section and found an old green hardback entitled Vagabonding Down the Andes, and immediately my heart skipped a beat. Naturally, I bagged the sucker faster than a crazed harry potter fan at a new book release, and examined the browning pages of the green bound book. It looked like a keeper to me. When I went to the counter to buy it, the delusional cashier lady told me it was 25 skins to which I replied "whaaaat? are you kidding me?" Keep in mind this book looked pretty used, pretty old and pretty cheap $. I asked her to check on it but she was uncompromising and refused questioning. I was outraged. I told her to put it on hold for me and that was that. I have a bunch of junk books that I'll trade in and get the thing for free next time I'm there. I still can't believe she really thought those 612 pages were worth that much!gahh
