ReAd BeFoRe YoU BuY!!

Okay so it's that time of year again to buy those really cheap school books that sometimes you don't even use at all! So I was trying to save a few bucks and buy one of my books online, no big deal right? Well I needed a Tabers Medical Dictionary and I found one for only $20, at the bookstore it would have been over $150!! I was so excited when I found one online that I just purchased it right then and there, partly because I didn't want to look anymore and I didn't want anyone else to buy it before me. I had them ship it to me express because I needed it for the next week of school so when my mom told me a package came for me and that it wasn't from Tyler I was excited because I knew that it had to be my NEW dictionary. When I went upstairs I was expecting it to be in a big box but instead it was a small bubble envelope like the size of my hand! So I had no idea what this package was, until I opened it and I just started laughing when I saw this antique book! I guess I was so excited to buy my dictionary that I forgot to read that it was a collectible from 1905, which means its over 104 years old!! So if anyone is looking for a new medical dictionary with faded gold pages and is very outdated let me know cause I have one just for you! I hope this story helps everyone to remember to read what your getting before you buy it! :)
