styygens Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 I found this at a used book store today. Sorry, everyone; it was the only one. http://i1092.photobucket.com/albums/i404/fitzsmallireland/Space%20Wolf%20Codex/IMG_3555.jpg It was in amazing condition and shows only a little shelf wear. There are no creases or bends in the covers, binding, or inner pages. All the pages appear to be there too. http://i1092.photobucket.com/albums/i404/fitzsmallireland/Space%20Wolf%20Codex/IMG_3556.jpg http://i1092.photobucket.com/albums/i404/fitzsmallireland/Space%20Wolf%20Codex/IMG_3558.jpg?t=1318282545 Am I correct in thinking this is a Second Edition Space Wolf codex?

styygens Posted October 10, 2011 Author Share Posted October 10, 2011 its so pretty and shiny....I must have one.... That's the shield boss creating the shine. I made the shield myself; I'm sure you could too. So you can have one. The shield, that is. The book is mine, and you can pry it from my cold, dead fingers. Just remember I have an axe to go with that shield.

DIDM Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 in my city we have the best new/used bookstore in the world Powells they either have or can get you almost anything, not just gaming books. You guys should check them out, they are the biggest independent new/used bookstore/s in the world. Their flagship store has more than a million books in it and is a city block and 4 stories. nice find though, looks to be in next to new condition. can you give me the ISBN? it is on the back in the barcode area Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/240090-used-bookstore-find-old-codex/#findComment-2897130 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DIDM Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 anyone who wants one Abe Books has a lot of the 1994 and 2000 editions of Codex Space Wolves. This is a very trusted site, I used it daily when working at Powells.

Sharpsilver Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 I picked up the 2nd and 3rd Edition codice last year and I was happy to get them before they become too rare Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/240090-used-bookstore-find-old-codex/#findComment-2897170 Share on other sites More sharing options...
styygens Posted October 11, 2011 Author Share Posted October 11, 2011 You kids with your internet. You can find almost anything with a little typing and clicking. Don't steal my thunder. I went out on the hunt and returned with a mighty prize. This is the Space Wolf way! Not relying upon technology to sort and search and bring limitless prey to me. Where is the thrill of the hunt in that? Pathetic (but admittedly, far more practical...)

This site is a good reference for pricing used books, so I just searched it. It is a giant group of used book stores, so you can find most anything on it. But hey, be proud of yourself, used bookstores can be dusty odd places. You found a book that appears in perfect condition, and I imagine it was pretty cheap. Looking over the web isn't as fun as thumbing through the actual books. The surprise factor > easiness.

Forté Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 I miss my old copy. If I remember rightly, we had 'hatred- thousand sons' back then too.

(I try hard not to troll the B&C). I was just expressing my middle-aged disgust at how easy things have gotten for collectors without slipping into a story that starts, "Back in my day..." Plus, I used to manage two bookstores. And I am sick and tired of hearing about how *awesome* Powells is. If I had a quarter for... Oh, wait. Maybe I'm trolling. I should stop while I'm ahead. :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/240090-used-bookstore-find-old-codex/#findComment-2897907 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just re explained how I knew about the site, and then said finding books in a store can actually be more rewarding. I think it is great that you found it, that is one great thing about used book stores, never know what you can find. Please just re read, nothing I said is negative, it is all positive tward you. You found a gem, and at used book store prices, as I said, it must have been a steal.
