ruGood GODS that book sale is dangerous. I came out with an armful again. >_>;;;;
But I got some really cool things, including:
--A gardening encyclopedia from the 1940's. Let's see how many plants in it are considered invasive now! XD
--A book on literary humor by Elliot Engel. I'm fond of his lectures, so let's see how he handles humor. It appears to have also been signed by him, which is neat.
--A cookbook from the 1930's. There are some interesting-looking recipes in it that I thought might be fun to try. There's also a section on cooking for invalids. And apparently they were fond of drinking egg whites in the 30's.
--Finally, and what I think is the neatest thing I found, a pair of biology textbooks from the 1860's. Those'll be neat to read, I think. It'll be interesting to see how they saw the world back then.
Darn it, now I have more books to read! I'm never going to see the end of my reading list, am I?
