oh goody. i’m not the only one who couldnt figure out what the shiny thingamajigger is/was. Do you recycle your books into a used book store or do you keep them all?
Chris! I have an espresso maker very much like that one! I put up a picture here, http://knitnzu.livejournal.com/18254.html
Does yours have the side bar for steaming milk? Don’t you love the torpedo shape? Is it a ‘Vesuviana’ (I love that it is named after a volcano!)
Those are some great book finds! Perdido Street Station is the only one I’ve read so far (some of the others are on my shelf). It took a bit to get into, but once I did I couldn’t put it down. China Mieville writes some damn good books.
Oh no, my caffiend took a hit, I had no idea what the shiny silver thing is. Charles de Lind and Neil Gaiman! Score! I was so shocked when I saw China Mieville at a book signing – I thought he was a she.
I’m unclear on what that shiny thing is….
LOL – it’s a funky espresso maker.
oh, neil gaiman. I really enjoy his writing. American Gods is a favorite. Have you seen mirror mask?

Oh chick, score! three deLints and two gaimans?! THat alone is just incredible :)***CV
no yarn or knitting books, eh?
good finds, anyway. I’m sure the credit card appreciates it after the bruising in Colorado 😉

Those look like some great finds!
Is the silver thingy some sort of coffee making contraption?
A funky espresso maker, huh? Cool — let us know how it works. Is it a stovetop model or does it plug in?
I met Neil Gaiman. I touched Neil Gaiman. I’d like to say Neil Gaiman is my BFF but that would be a lie. But I love Neil Gaiman anyway.
More books, he, so fun.
I’m wondering if the seller didn’t know what that shiny thing was, either…… Did it come with instructions?
Score! I dug Gaiman’s American Gods book.
Poor May 🙂 She should come over here and see how many we bought at fetes etc at 20p each! I think I have more than enough to read at the moment.
Really nice book finds there! Did you go to one sale or a whole lot?
I was trying to figure out the shiny thing too! It doesn’t look like espresso makers I’ve seen! But I’ll take your word on it 🙂
Love that espresso maker. I hope you’ll report back on how well it works.
Hey, Charles de Lint!
Cool looking espresso maker! I was wondering what it was too. May does not need to see our house. 🙂
Heh cheap books rock!
Though we tend to average 10 a weekend for the last few weekends – the stacks are growing….
But then at 20pence or so a book (40 cents to people with strange currency) you kind of can’t say no.

Not having to play with your cats: priceless.
NO WAY!!! so cool!
Wow, that’s one heck of a deal for eight bucks! Mmm…. books….
reading Neverwhere at the moment. Then I’m going to start Fragile Things [ once I get it back from DD later this week ]
Well scored!!!!!!

Yard Sales ARE wonderful, no?
(((hugs)))
What am I looking at? Looks like you got a some good books though!
I’d love to know what that shiny thing is.
