Hello,
I picked up that Fitts book in a used book store on the coast of Oregon when I was visiting there this past March. I really enjoyed it. And yes, I have a book obsession too. I really enjoy buying old psych books at thrift stores and garage sales. And I would never image getting rid of any of my books. I am also a therapist in training.
