@kevin To protect my copy of RONR while transporting it back and forth in my briefcase to public meetings, I use this leather book cover from TheAntiq, for less than $30:

@kevin For $25, a hardcover copy of Robert's Rules of Order, Newly Revised. This book has opened up an entirely new perspective for me on parliamentary procedure in the American tradition. This past year, I was elected to representative public office and appointed to a seat on my town's Planning Commission, and this book has been absolutely life-changing.

@kevin For less than $30, this fan from Dreo. I have no air conditioning in my home, and this tiny fan is extremely quiet and pushes just enough air on Low to make a real difference in my ability to sleep comfortably in Summer. Before getting it, I honestly never thought a fan could be this quiet and this effective.

@kevin An open box but unused OHOM Ui mug and induction heater/wireless phone charger. I paid $44.93 USD via eBay including shipping, and I cannot recommend this product highly enough.

I keep my furnace set to 64°F in Winter to save fossil fuels and money, and this mug enables me to keep my coffee or tea hot all day for a few pennies' worth of electricity (22 W max).

I plan to buy a second, so I can move up and down stairs, and still keep my drink hot.
