So, that happened.

So, I was out shopping with
shadowen, and we were wandering in the first of several bookstores that we went to in her time here.
I was, of course, in the sci-fi/fantasy section, looking for things that might be interesting or hilarious to read, when I stumbled upon this:

And I thought to myself, "Self, this looks like it might be fun to read. George Takei and Robert Asprin are made of win. I think we should buy it"
So I got up to the counter, and the lady at the counter said, "Did you see the price on this? It's $12.95."
"Buh?" I said, as the price of all the other cheap paperbacks was $3.95 (for lo, we were in the hipster part of town, and not at McKay (heh)).
And then she opened the cover.

"Do you still want it?" the lady said.
"0.o" I said.
And clearly, it came home with me.
