Even worse is that two of the three reviews are 1 star, making the book 1 1/3 stars.

If that ain't bad enough, here's the last line of the final review there:
Quote:
I am forced to rate this book with a single star in order to leave a review-- it is not worth even a single star.

Dear Royal Court, why oh why did you folks see fit to buy liquidated ASOTV stuff? 40 years ago, the products were just as crappy, but their brand name impressed us in our less-jaded lives. Now the mere mention of their brand name usually elicits stifled giggles.

Please tell me the "Mystery Truckload" was just too great a deal to pass up. =)

The big question is whether the humor value of this book is worth $8. Otherwise, there will be an Almost Mystery Box coming up with the almost mystery being a book that retailed for $50 at one time. Smile

QVC reviews have it as 1.3 out of 5, based on 19 reviews. Interestingly the highest rating of 3 stars indicated that they were going to be returning them.

Maybe if they were only $2 or $3, they might be good for hollowing out as a book safe? Sounds like it would actually increase their value to do so.

Jump on this before work, didn't figure it would still be up when I got home. Not too good, oh well... Maybe there will be a few bits of info I didn't know. I'm usually pretty creative with repairs. Don't really have much training, but can usually get most things functional, but often wonder what is considered correct. The price isn't painful, so no big deal.
