Book Board Chat

Hi all - so nice to drop in here and catch up.
Thank you, mysteryhorse, for the "book that looks like nothing" (to those of us not schooled about horsey things). Every once in a while one of the books I've read about here will jump out at me at a thrift store or book sale. One time lludwig mentioned a cookbook and I found (and sold) one the next day!
Here's my contribution: 978-0072879353 Intro to Limnology. I usually skip over the "Intro to" textbooks unless it seems an uncommon (e.g., graduate level) topic or looks new-ish. Other intro books in the environmental sciences (such as Intro to Environmental Science, Intro to Environmental Chemistry) fall into the Skip category but this intro book is a sure sell, even though it's from 2004. I sold one for about $100 a few months ago on Amazon and it's still listing around $70 there, with a high sales rank.
