Okay, finally got my SDCC pass. Now, what am I doing there this year?
This! @okbjgm.bsky.social is able to articulate the gist of the current environment of the entertainment industry in one thread.
By way of clarification, I bid $5 for all the Star Trek books and won. Downside: I neglected to see that theauction was in Pennsylvania. And that these were marked 'pick up only.' I paid to have them shipped, so final cost: a lot more than $5 (but less than a buck a book)
The rest were from an auction in Arizona. Substantially cheaper shipping and I finally have a TNG Technical manual after decades of it being missing from my collection. Some 1st edition gems in this bunch.
I just learned about FAFO parenting and am seriously pondering if there is parenting that isn't that. My parents might not have said those exact words, but the ethos was ever present in my upbringing and those of pretty much everyone I knew when I was a kid. Has that changed?
Another follow-up: This is not my entire library. I obtained these approx 350 books from 2 different auctions. My existing library is spread between living room shelves, office, and bedroom closet. Here's the living room bookshelf. You can't see that each row has two more stacked behind them.
