originalisbest Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Killer book to own! To have had a Mercury dime or two and be able to transport yourself to the right newsstand or bookshop right after they put new books out (those darn kids might not be so gentle with books that were on the stands for a little bit!) scottde 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
originalisbest Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Also, you'd have to have the correct dress for the period (and hairstyle I guess) so as not to stand out like Marty McFly in a vest that looked like a life preserver. scottde 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
originalisbest Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Sadly, I've given this some thought, just in case I get the chance to put my plan in action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe some 1935-38 Buffalo nickels too, to mix it up a bit. jimjum12 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would it better to go back with a bunch of Morgan and Peace dollars, or buy some really old bills? How would you transport 400 books back with you? Do you take a suitcase filled with bags and boards? Ahhh, way too much time on my hands lately. originalisbest 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KirbyJack Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Don’t bring money. Just place some small bets and use the paradox-free winnings. originalisbest 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
originalisbest Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 I wouldn't know where to go to place a bet back then, so I'll just stick with getting a stack together of series 1935 $1 bills (not that pricey) and taking those back to an appropriate storefront. In and out! Around the corner to an alley and back in time. Maybe taking along a sturdy shirtbox or something that wouldn't look anachronistic. You're going to get enough odd looks trying to buy like 100 books and then anal-retentively placing them into a box to carry away. Which makes me wonder, how much are you going to carry out? Even if you get the books you're after, it might kill you to think about the stuff you'll have to leave behind -- can only carry so much stuff at once!
