Got the last 3 of the 11 Ian Heath-illustrated hardcover 'Armies of...' books I was missing.  $20US instead of $52 is a great deal! Now, other than the new one on the Paraguayan War, for which I have nil interest, I've got the complete set.  Lots of info, but definitely not 'readers'! 

Edit. Sorry, they're from Foundry.

Picked up 'The Mysterious World of Sherlock Holmes' on Friday at a local Chapters.  Nice overview of Conan Doyle, with a good rundown of Holmes in print, film and other media.  Lots of good contemporary photos and art as well as good colour shots of Holmesian paraphernalia - weapons, clothing, equipment, locations, etc. I was surprised at how blue a Bobbie's uniform was.  I was always under the impression that it was considerably darker in hue.
A nice reference for the period and quite reasonably priced.

Nice one, lots of photos and clean, sharp illustrations with comprehensive text. Seems like a good starting point for a new project - next year...

Found a replacement copy of War of the Worlds about a week ago. Very nice considering the prior had seen a little too much 'action' before I even came in possession of the old family book. Most of my books are older than me though, so it's not too much a surprise if I end up replacing those in desperate need of eternal slumber. Hate throwing out books though, it's just so... well horrible to put it simply .

...Hate throwing out books though...

I know the feeling.  I've got some old pocketbook copies of 'The Shadow' novels, for example.  You can't open them without having all the pages separate from the covers.  Some have been reglued (sort of!) while others are probably wrapped in disintegrating elastics.  But, throw them out? Are you nuts?
I've got reams of my late father's books (including an almost complete collection of the works of Alexandre Dumas from 1910!), some of which haven't been opened in at least 15 years, but for the moment I am content to leave them on their shelves.  They are part of what made Dad, Dad.  When it does come time to dispose of them, they'll probably go to some organization like the Sally Ann, who may find somebody else who will appreciate them.
