So as I was reading College Prepster's blog, I did a google search for the NY Times review of True Prep by Lisa Birnbach. Funny story...I have The Official Preppy Handbook that was cowritten by her in 1980. I have an original copy that I picked up at my high school's garage sale. I saw it and could not resist since I could not tell if it was a joke or serious. Here is my book :)
I then see in the article this book can be between $100 to even $1000. I cannot believe that! It is amazing...and could be a lot of ballet flats for spring. i just found that exciting :) Here is the article http://www.nytimes.com/2010/08/30/books/30book.html?_r=1 . You never know what you find at garage sales!
But this got me to thinking that I need to buy a Kindle or a Nook because I need to buy books instantly. It is a necessity. I need to get True Prep.
It's so funny that I just stumbled upon your post, because I'm holding my copies of the official Preppy Handbooks and True Prep right now waiting to read them after I hop on Blogger for a second. I can't believe you found it at a garage sale! SO LUCKY! i ordered mine a few weeks ago for about 200 bucks, they both books came in the mail this afternoon. I thinking of reading Official first and then true prep. :)
