I thought 'Lost' was only on ABC...
Mar. 5th, 2006 10:47 pmWell, we lost one box in the move, apparently. Box #222, almost certainly with my books in it. I inventoried boxes 220, 221, 223 and 224 to try and give them an idea of what value that box had.
A couple of things pop out: 1) I am a geek. This is widely known already, but three of those four boxes were math, physics, and compsci books. The fourth was 91 assorted scifi and fantasy paperbacks. 2) They oughta be damned happy they didn't lose #224. That was the one with my first edition T. H. White's _The Sword in the Stone_ (Illustrated, no less.) *and* my second edition The Fellowship of the Ring, Book 1. I know I should be more upset about the loss, but to be honest, I can't seem to think of anything obvious missing while scanning my shelves.
I do know that I'm going to be doing a solid inventory and assessment RSH. I've got some gems in there I should get appraised for insurance purposes.
