I Ran Into Hemmingway

I found a vintage Hemmingway book at the thrift store the other day.

It's near mint.

1953 press.

I used to flip vintage so I have an eye for vintage items even when it’s a needle in a haystack.

I wasn't even looking for vintage books, I was just strolling down the isle.

Experiential knowledge is implicit.

The knowledge gained through personal experience, practice, and observation is deeply ingrained.

With enough repetition, knowledge becomes ingrained and intuitive.

I was able to spot the book because of the shade of color, the material of the book cover, and the fonts.

And I reached for it before the information even registered.

Experience saved me time from rummaging through the isle of books.

Small win.

Unexpected and effortless.
