Not a Thrift find, but I did find a good deal at Amazon (3rd party seller) for a Hardcover of "MILES" The Autobiography by Davis and Troupe.
I read this in College and have not even seen the book since. I've wanted it in my collection for decades and just kept forgetting. Finally ordered it a few weeks ago in Hardcover Used VG + and it came today. I actually think I may find the time to read this one quickly.
My schedule has been slammed the last few weeks, but I did find time to read the classic Playboy interview with Miles circa September, 1962 via Kindle. A quick read (30 minutes) and very insightful. The then unknown author Alex Haley conducted and wrote the interview for Hugh Hefner. It was a landmark interview that started the ball rolling for Playboy doing celebrity interviews.
I am currently reading this for a course with author / Professor Lewis Porter great read!
Enjoy. It's a stellar read, IMO. I would have loved to have taken a course that included this book.
BTW, my best friend in Grad School went to Rutgers.
Aloha!

Finished it last night. I read a few pages to a chapter a night when I did and took a 2 week hiatus during the holiday to get Clive Barker ~ The Great & Secret Show started again (400 pages in).I started The Ninth: Beethoven and the World in 1824 again.
I used to read a page or 2 at a time when I'd take a smoke break in the shop a few years ago but eventually I lost interest.
It's better than I remembered and well written.
Reading Beethoven: Anguish and Triumph last Winter probably helped because now I know many
of the people that were in his life and more of his music than just the Symphonies & piano Concertos.
