My local library recently had a huge sale, and just wanted to get rid of a lot of books (they ended up throwing hundreds in the garbage). I got a lot of good deals too:

I got The Destroyer Killer by Edwin P Hoyt for 10 cents CDN. I also got Bowfin (Hoyt), The Carrier War (Hoyt), The Big E (by Safford Edward I believe), and Japan's War (John Toland), for the same price (as well as some more WW2 books and other types as well).

In addition to this, I got some hardcover books for 50 cents, including a 1943 copy of William Shirer's Berlin Diary and a 1948 copy of US Secretary of State/Defence Henry Stimson's On Active Service in Peace and War. Also, a lot of fictional WW3-scenario hardcover novels.

I even got some for free that were about to be thrown out, including a history of the United Kingdom by Winston Churchill and a copy of The Dogs of War by Frederick Forsyth. I've never bothered to read either one of these yet though.
