If I ever get my copy back from the current borrower, I'll lend you mine if you're unable to secure a copy.

Thanks, I'll see how it goes.  I don't have too many books lined up for purchase, but the ones on my list are expensive.  Next up is The Magic of My Youth, by Arthur Calder-Marshall.  Good quality hardcover: 269.99 USD.  Maybe I'll win the lottery.

Whew! I thought my wish-listed book, Iain Gilchrist's two volume The Matter with Things, for $148 was steep!

Crucified Rabbi by Taylor Marshall

[Pon de Replay]

Whew! I thought my wish-listed book, Iain Gilchrist's two volume The Matter with Things, for $148 was steep!

And that book clocks in at 1500 pages, so you're paying a dollar a page, which is normally steep, but depending on how much you like the writer and his insights, it could be a value.  I just checked outside of Amazon on mine, and I'm glad I did, because the independent sellers there often price-gouge, and it looks like Abe Books has good quality paperback versions at much more reasonable prices.

ETA: wait, I think it would be a dime a page, not a dollar.  So that's almost a steal.

ETA again: Or is it ten dollars a page?  Why can't I do this math?

[Padraig]

Yes, a dime per page. That's a pretty good value when you frame it like that

Blood Meridian or The Evening Redness In The West by Cormac McCarthy. I don't care for most modern fiction but McCarthy is outstanding.

Just started Lonesome Dove

I read that maybe over 40 years ago, but I recall that I wept because it was over.  My dad used to love chatting with McMurtry at his little bookshop in Georgetown, ages ago.

Outside The Church There Is Positively No Salvation by Father Michael Mueller CSSR. Great read. From the late 1800's. Shows, once again, how Lefebvre was so consistent in doctrine, especially religious liberty.
