I picked up a hardback copy of A Planet Called Treason at the used bookstore in my town. The book looks brand new, its as if it was never read. It was in great shape. And $3.50 is a very cheap price.
The cool thing is that it is the original 1979 hardcover. I was having a, "Gee wiz, I'm so darn lucky," moment. (Except multiply the excitement by 23)

Just wondering, but was A Planet Callled Treason Card's first published novel, or was Hot Sleep before that?

Yeah I picked up a used pack of the the enders series(EG, Speaker, Xenocide, and COTM) for $4.50. at a price like that I couldnt pass it up, and they're in great condition apart from the fact that the cover of enders game fell off, as in it just detached from the book but is still in good condition, and i just got done guling it this morning. Wow now I feel like im describing something for an auction on Ebay.

Yes, old OSC books are pretty easy to find on the Internet. That's how I got Hot Sleep, A Planet Called Treason, the rewritten Treason, and Maps in a Mirror (before it was reprinted with a new cover).

Kind of random, but isn't it weird how most common items are replaced by brand names?
e.g. bandages - band-aid tissue - kleenex online auction - ebay computer - PC (as opposed to a mac, or does this not count? PC means personal computer, but from what ive heard of it, doesnt it mean windows?)

PC means Wintel (that is to say Windows running on an Intel CPU), and MAC means Apple. However, this is confusing since you can run Linux on an AMD CPU and it is still called a PC, and the new Mac's will be running on an Intel CPU themselves.
