Don't know if a thread like this was ever posted before, but I've never seen one. Anyway, a good thread I think since people are calling for more posts.
I've lived for a while and bought a lot of stuff. I like to think most of the stuff I've bought has been worthwhile at least to some degree. But one of the best things I ever bought was something I got w the first paycheck I ever had. There used to be a bookshop in the DC area called Brentano's. They were having a sale (about 25% off I think), and the London Times Atlas was marked down from $70 to around $55. I've always loved maps and it's a very good atlas so I got it. I regularly use it to look up places that I hear and read about. The use and fun I've gotten out of it has been worth many times the cost. Just a small purchase but it stands out as one of the best.
How about you?
