to find plastered on the Internet. Your high school year book. I suppose it isn't surprising that these references are out there. After all, anyone can put anything on the web.
I have a blog, so you can find me on the Internet. But there's something about someone sitting at a computer and pulling up stuff from your high school days (that you wouldn't offer to them perhaps) and perusing pictures and stuff (and you wouldn't pull the book out of a box and let them look at it, for heaven's sake!) ....
And I may be over-reacting. Guess it just caught me off guard. I mean, there I was looking at information and books at Amazon.com about my home town and there are pages of year book entries, several schools and many years.
My question is, though, why? I guess someone who went to the school and didn't get a year book, or lost the year book, could be interested. But who else? Sure, those people on TV who are solving mysteries and searching for folk might look at a library copy .... but buy a year book?
AND, here's the other thing; the books are about $80 each. Yes, I realize that it is now 2012 and everything costs a whole lot more than in the 1960's (yes, I was in high school in them days). The only book I've ever paid that kind of money for was a textbook that a teacher or professor said I had to get. And I sold them back to the bookstore at the end of the term if I could.
Guess it's hard to say what people will buy. Makes me think I need to reactivate my Amazon vendor account and get those books off the shelf and out of the boxes. Hey, 99 cents plus shipping is more than I'm getting with it on the shelf. I might even sell the year books; I mean, I haven't looked inside one in a very long time. Wonder if I can sell mine for $80?
