Haul of Books: Friends of the Library Edition

There was an enormous book sale here in Gainesville over the last few days and I thought I’d let you all know what I got (a lot of stuff, actually). Next time, in April, I don’t think I will be going quite as all out, mostly because I don’t have as much need for a lot of books anymore. I intentionally went this year trying to find things to use for my research, and now I’m only missing a few things.

If you’ve bought any new books in the last few days, let me know in the comments. Here goes (sorry, no pictures; there’s just too much):
