A lucky day!

[Gaussian]

I had a lucky day! I asked my wife to keep an eye on second hand drawing books and today she came home with a Jack Hamm, First Lessons in Drawing and Painting. She only paid $1.99, but the book is out of print and highly popular. I fell of my chair when I saw it. There are people selling this book between $60-$200 US [stuned] Not only that, mine is pretty much brand new. It's not even an old print, this one is from 1988, but for the price is doesn't matter. The original price new price was about $15.

I'm not going to sell it though, but I will be very carefull with it. I like Jack Hamm, he wrote really good books that have become very popular. You can still buy most of his books, expect this one, which you can only buy second hand, unless you're lucky.

So... if you're one of those who visit second hand stores now and then...keep your eyes open. For example Andrew Loomis books sell for more than $350, but then again.... he's pretty much the Godfather of drawing books.

I'll keep an eye open for these. Once a few of my PS paintings are published I'll be sure to share them in his forum as well.

You are lucky. To have this book and to have a wife like my own who finds treasures like this often enough.

I think you have a good wife who have a look like that. For this you can reach one to another from lower step to higher step. So lucky.......
