I never knew I was rich back in the 1960s when I bought quite a few Ace doubles and other science fiction books. The Ace doubles price changed over the years but I seem to remember 40 to 50 cents when I first started buying them. Then there were my subscriptions to several SF & F magazines and visits to the local used book stores. I also read quite a few books from the local library and might have influenced their book purchases into improving their science fiction and fantasy collection.
