 At the ripe old age of 60, I'm starting a new career. A new business. This is a dream I've had for a very long time and now I'm going to make it come true. I'm going to open a small used book store in my little desert town. There's never been a bookstore here, ever. Mine will be the first. I've already done much of the prep work with the town and the county. I have a location, have started acqu... |

I've even done Christmas shopping on ebay. items don't have to be new if they're special or rare. Right now, though, I'm buying books in lots.

| I thought I was going to really like this show. The chemistry between Shark and his assistants is great. The cases are good. Well, mostly good. Some are just okay.
But I was really disappointed... | |
