Happy day for me.
Since I didn't have to go into work in the morning, I spent 2 hours at the local flea market, looking at books.
There are 2 finds I made.
A first edition of "From the Eye of the Storm", with original dust jacket, worth $15 - $25 USD
The second find was a first printing of "Savrola, a Tail of the Revolution in Laurania" , which is Winston Churchill's only attempt at a full-length work of fiction.
Valued at between $70 - $90 USD
My advice is of you have flea markets in your area, go out and have some fun, and maybe you'll find some gems buried in all the junk
Edit: I was pricing Savrola incorrectly, the version I have it the first American printing by Random House, not the British version. |

Flea markets are definitely awesome places to find all sorts of interesting things. I picked up an old Alfred Hitchcock anthology a couple of weekends ago. Nothing overly valuable, except to me because I really like that sort of thing. |

I have found some things that I had been looking for or wanting for a long time, and some very unusual or unique items. I enjoy flea markets too. |

I regularly trawl through second-hand bookshops and I've found some gems - my favourite is an original 1915 edition of Arthur Machen's The Bowmen and other stories of the Great War. For those who don't know - this tale of the supernatural deliverance of the British Expeditionary Force at Mons in 1914 kick-started one of the war's most durable legends, the Angels of Mons. This edition includes Machen's essay on the nature of evidence and the mutation of stories. |

Yup, except no cars (maybe parts of cars) and the boots are used!
Okay, bad attempt at humour*.
Did spelling humor correctly help? |

Bunch of folks get together in 1 area, set up tables, and sell random items. ( sort of like a giant yard sale )
It's a pretty fun time, and for collectors, a nice place to find unusual things. |

I love flea markets, I once found a McCulloch centrifugal supercharger from a studebaker golden hawk and got it for 50 bucks, it was worth about 3000 the guy thought it was some kind of water pump for a farm irragation system.

I love car boot sales. I remember the day a few years back when I picked up a bunch of original Star Wars figures, boxed, for £1 each. I certainly didn't alert the seller to their actual value. |

The only boot sales around my way are mainly boxes filled with old Carpenters and Bay City Rollers albums.
If anyone is looking for The Best of Baccara. I know where you can get it for £1.50 But you'd better hurry. |
