      Yes, all of these please. 
      Damn, I need an old-fashioned patron. A Medici who wants me to produce art for them (art, and nothing else, just to make them look good), so I could write on vellum this list as part of necessary supplies. That and they would get my crappy laptop upgraded.

      wish i had money & storage, hah

      ALSOif you live in and/or near san francisco, dog eared books on 20th & valencia always has a large selection of remaindered (aka ~$7 for NEW) copies of NYRB books with a stock that changes occasionally! (though clearly not everything is there)

      I’ve already got my stack of unread nyrbs, but what the hell does that mean anyway? Pile ’em on. Higher. Higher.

      We need a rec thread for the books on sale. I’ll start:

      Stefan Zweig’s Chess Story
      Jules Renard’s Nature Stories

      Thanks for the heads up. Too many great titles. My already overstuffed bookshelves will hate this. 
      What did you order, Ken?

      It’s such an obvious gimmick:  re-publish OOP semi- or completely forgotten Excellent Books.  –but these guys do it sensibly and well.  (Probably lots of clever ideas are ‘obvious’–after one hears them.)  Half off – ha ha.

      Let me recommend:  The Siege of Krishnapur and All About H. Hatterr.
