February Books Bought

I had a nearly perfect month going until yesterday, when I walked into Daedalus Books empty-handed and walked out with...well, most of the books listed below:


Crime and Punishment - Fyodor Dostoyevsky

Daedalus has several classics in sturdy trade paperbacks for $3.95, this one from Black Dog & Leventhan Publishers.





The Scarlet Letter & The House of Seven Gables - Nathaniel Hawthorne

Another trade paperback, this one from Toby Books.






The Restless Dead (2007) - edited by Deborah Noyes

A YA anthology of supernatural stories featuring stories by Kelly Link, Holly Black and others.






The Naming (2006) - Alison Croggon

YA fantasy. Hey, why not?






Considering Genius: Writings on Jazz (NF 2006) - Stanley Crouch

I flipped through several of these essays and thought they looked good. When I found a chapter on Duke Ellington's Black, Brown and Beige (which I also found on CD at Daedalus), I knew I had to have it.






The Rape of Europa: The Fate of Europe's Treasures in the Third Reich and the Second World War (NF 1995) - Lynn H. Nicholas

The only book not purchased at Daedalus (thus ending the Daedalus commercial), this is the story of Nazi Germany's attempt to purge "degenerate" art from Europe.
