Best find at Half Price Books ever... FD coffee table book!



Picked it up for $50 at the local used book store. They have another with a one inch tear in the dust cover at the bottom. I'm happy to grab it for anyone who wants it.

Art in it is beautiful. Haven't really read it yet.

Amazon has a few gently used versions for reasonable prices.

I don't have one. I will look at yours next time I am at the house. I don't know if I've ever seen one. Always heard people talk about it.

It's an excellent book. I read the entire thing and I recommend that anyone who owns an FD get it.
