$2.50.



That's what I spent for two books and a lamp at a thrift shop last week. Idyllwild, artsy, eclectic, relatively affluent mountain community that it is, produces some excellent secondhand goods. It also has some of the cheapest stuff I've ever found. I told my roommate I'd get us a few lamps to adorn our dorm room this semester, lessening our need to use the overhead beam. Fluorescent lighting bathes the world in artificial harshness; I'll take incandescent light any day.
