i was at a bookstore selling used books. i am not a bookworm and i only passed through the store to waste time. when i glanced on the left shelf, my eyes caught linda goodman's love signs in hardbound copy! to think all my friends have been either looking for it or brought it at a high price. i was able to get it only for approx 3 dollars! the universe wants me to have the book! ------------------

This is such an awesome question! I loved hearing everyone's answers.
I found my first copy in 1994 or '95.
For me I had just gotten out of a hard relationship and had moved into a rustic cabin on a lake, I loved taking roadtrips so decided to drive and I ended up in a wonderful small town. I kind of explored the town from my car and saw a new age book store that I was drawn to, but I need to have a comfort with a place before I'm able to get out and explore so I kept the town and store in mind and headded back home.
A couple of months later I decided that I really had to get back into my metaphysical studies (which I had given up for years..at much pain to my soul) so I took a trip back to that quaint town and the book store. Gooberz was the first book that jumped out at me (litterally I was pulling out another book and it fell onto the floor). So I picked it up and looked it over and it seemed interesting and I remembered something I had read earlier about everything having meaning and this book felt like something that fit me so I took it home and read it straight through. What an amazing book! I had to move back to my home town less than a year later and thought I would be able to make multiple trips so left my books..sad to say I wasn't able to make additional trips back. So hopefully Gooberz was able to get into other hands that it could help change. Now is a time in my life when I need the book again (I thought for sure since the book was life changing that Gooberz would be in print forever..such a classic). IP: Logged |

seveneightorange, I feel just the way you do. I know that I should wait for Gooberz. TWICE I had almost ordered it online because I really wanted it, but there was always something holding me back, and now I just feel really calm and wonderful about waiting. I just know it will find me soon.  IP: Logged |

Okay, so I now have a Gooberz.  I ordered it at http://www.half.com. Good thing I waited so that I could find a really cheap one!
My Gooberz found me this morning, after a day of struggling with self-defeating thoughts, resulting in a kind of hay fever (as the only thing I can think to call it), and a not-so-restful night.
It was a pleasant surprise, as I hadn't even received the order OR shipping confirmation. I had ordered Love Poems along with it, and I got the confirmations for that one, and it arrived today as well.
Anyway, I know I'll be all better by tonight, and I won't have to be bored for another couple of weeks!
By the way, it amused me to see that on the "spine" of the book it said: IMAGE 10
Hampton Roads That made me smile and giggle.  I love you, Linda! IP: Logged |

I read Gooberz when i was 15 or maybe 16. I was going through a hard time with an ex boyfriend. It may seem silly for a 15 year old to have a hard time with a boyfriend but i was convinced that he was my twin-Self and I thought i was really in love. After ruining our relationship and pushing him away out of fear many times he finally got tired of it i guess and we broke up. I prayed and prayed that things would get better and that my heart break would magically disappear. I remember specifically asking god for a "miracle of love" it was about a month later that i got a copy of Gooberz from the library and when i finished it i noticed one of the last pages Linda says something about wishing all of us "the miracle of love" It gave me cold chills and I am convinced that Gooberz was the answer to my prayers Love chel IP: Logged |
