    Cool antique fair find.

    The town hosted an antique show and sale today so I strapped on my SWK Gordon and Karen and I wandered down to look around. We both found a bunch of o/t stuff, then I stumbled across two cool books.
    First one is a nice 1939 copy of Robert Bain's "The Clans and Tartans of Scotland", the second was a 1913 edition of "Old Edinburgh", by Frederick W. Watkeys. I got both books for $10...can't complain about that!

    Better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick, that's for sure.

    Nice find, Al. It's amazing the things you will find at antique or garage sales sometimes.
